The conference curriculum will fea ture four levels of content to support attendees with identifying conferenc e content that meets their needs. Proposal authors are invited to select th e level(s) they believe best represents their content.
Introductory - Introductory se ssions are designed to serve attendees with a novice understanding of asses sment. Sessions will include definitions and context that may not be necess ary for intermediate or advanced sessions. While the subject matter may be quite complex, the session assumes a beginner-level understanding of assess ment and assessment practices. These sessions are appropriate for entry-lev el assessment professionals, faculty who may be new to the assessment conve rsation at their institution, and graduate students.
Intermediate - Intermediate sess ions are designed to serve attendees with an established understanding of a ssessment. Session presenters assume an active assessment vocabulary and so me experience with assessment activities. The subject matter will naturally be more complex than introductory sessions. These sessions are appropriate for mid-level assessment professionals, faculty assessment liaisons with d epartmental or institutional assessment experience, or advanced graduate st udents with assessment experience.
Advanced - Advanced sessions are designed to serve attendees with a substantial understanding of assessment. Session presente rs assume that session attendees are well-versed in assessment language and assessment practice. The subject matter for these sessions will be high-le vel, global concepts and advanced techniques and processes. These sessions are appropriate for assessment professionals, researchers interested in ass essment subject matter, and advanced graduate students with assessment expe rience and research interest in assessment.
All Levels - Sessions in this category ar e designed to serve attendees across a range of experiences and expertise. Session presenters make no assumptions about the audience save an interest in assessment. The subject matter can be assessment tangential or assessmen t specific. Assessment language or appropriate vocabulary may be introduced , but the subject matter will quickly dive deeper than introductory session s. These sessions are designed to include cross-expertise community and pr ovide opportunity for collaborative thinking and interaction across levels of experience.
The conference curriculum will include four tags to support attendees with identifying conference content that aligns with thei r interests. Proposal authors are invited to select the tag they believe be st represents the content.
