Assessment
The Community College of Rhode Island is committed to providing high-quality educational programs and services. Assessment helps us understand how effectively we are meeting our educational goals and identify opportunities to strengthen the learning experiences we provide.
Through the ongoing assessment of student learning, academic program review, and evaluation of college services, CCRI uses evidence and reflection to inform decisions and support continuous improvement.
A Commitment to Quality
Assessment is an important part of CCRI's commitment to educational quality and institutional effectiveness. Faculty and staff examine evidence of student learning and program effectiveness to identify strengths, consider opportunities for improvement, and inform decisions about curriculum, teaching, and student services.
Continuous Improvement
Assessment is an ongoing process of learning and improvement. By examining what is working well and where changes may be needed, CCRI strives to strengthen its educational programs, support student learning, and maintain high standards of academic quality.
Accountability and Accreditation
Assessment and academic program review contribute to CCRI's efforts to evaluate institutional effectiveness, support planning, and demonstrate its commitment to educational quality. These processes are also important to the college's ongoing accreditation responsibilities.
