A Landscape Analysis Illustrating How TCUs Can Leverage Assessment to Drive Their Missions
This report presents the findings from a landscape analysis looking at how TCUs have integrated culturally grounded practices in their assessment work. Relying on previously published literature, strategic documents shared on TCU websites, and first-hand interviews with TCU staff about their college’s current culturally grounded assessment practices (CAPs), a model identifying actions that TCUs take when engaging in CAPs work, along with the characteristics that accompany this work, was created. By sharing this report, we aim to highlight the potential for TCUs to leverage assessment to actualize and drive their cultural missions.
