Action

After collecting and analyzing their Educational Goals assessment data, academic units should develop a set of actions to implement any improvements or revisions to their programs, or modifications to their Educational Goals, based on the results of their data analysis. Results from this analysis and actions should be articulated in the mid-cycle reporting requirement of the External Review process.

  1. Curriculum

What happens after action?

The Educational Goals Assessment Cycle is a dynamic, iterative process which is future-oriented. After the Action phase, Educational Goals should be reevaluated and redefined if necessary, and the process begins again.
