Pack Proficiency Champions

DASA Assessment and the Office of Assessment & Accreditation have identified faculty champions for each of the General Education Competencies. The role of Pack Proficiency Champions is to engage with faculty across disciplines and encourage improvement in student learning through teaching and use of assessment data. Faculty then use these data to make decisions about courses and curricula related to the competency. Champions work closely with DASA Assessment and the Office of Assessment & Accreditation to collect evidence of how faculty across campus are specifically using data to improve student learning. Faculty were selected as champions based on their content area expertise and their interest in assessment and faculty development. To volunteer to serve as a Champion, please contact dasa-assessment@ncsu.edu.

Each spring DASA Assessment announces a request for proposals for faculty to work with a Pack Proficiency Champion. Assessment staff review applications and pair selected faculty participants with a Champion. Both the Champion and the faculty member receive a $500 stipend for their work. Proposals for spring 2022 closed on April 22.
