Learning Outcomes

Curriculum

Tools

Theological schools are so different, there are few assessment tools that they can share. The ATS Graduating Student Questionaire is one. Several questions ask students to self-assess their growth and satisfaction in a number of areas that can be easily correlated with a school's outcomes. A simple chart (Word or PDF) can help schools match answers to selected questions with its outcomes. (Although self-assessment is not a direct measure of learning, it can still be a valuable part of a school's assessment process.)
