Call for Session Proposals: Standards of Good Practice Institute: “Outcomes Assessment in Education Abroad”
The Forum on Education Abroad announces a call for session proposals for the Standards of Good Practice Institute, “Outcomes Assessment in Education Abroad,” to be held March 21, 2012, immediately preceding the 8th Annual Forum Conference, Sheraton Downtown, Denver.
Historically, the field of education abroad has lacked extensive data demonstrating its outcomes: academic, developmental, institutional and professional. The Forum’s Standards of Good Practice call for assessment and evaluation in all of these areas. Its Outcomes Committee addresses these needs by encouraging and supporting research on and providing resources about the assessment of outcomes in education abroad.
The March 2012 Standards Institute on Outcomes Assessment will further this work by bringing together colleagues to discuss the desired outcomes of education abroad and how these are shaped by institutional/organizational mission, culture, and resources; examine different approaches to assessment, their strengths and weaknesses; and give participants the opportunity to develop and improve assessment strategies appropriate to their institutions and organizations. The Institute will include both plenary and concurrent sessions to allow participants to learn from experts, and engage in hands-on work.
Deadline for proposal submissions is: September 16, 2011. For the full call for proposals and details, see: http://www.forumea.org/Institute12.cfm
