The Office for Academic Assessment and Program Review supports NCC’s efforts to provide evidence that our students are reaching their educational goals by helping faculty design effective and meaningful assessments and helping college administrators gather, organize, and use information to assess their units and plan for the future.
The vision of OAPR is that every faculty member, staff member, and administrator at NCC will gather the evidence they need to ensure that they are reaching their goals and that they will use that evidence to engage in meaningful reflection and efforts to improve and grow, whatever their role. To this end, OAPR supports all efforts to develop accurate and authentic measures of assessment of student learning for any member of the NCC community and maintains the highest degree of transparency and integration of all assessment information so that we will develop a culture of assessment, improvement, and evolution as an institution.
