NEW Resource - AI Assisted Assessment Plan Guide!

The Office of Assessment is excited to introduce our new AI-Assisted Assessment Plan Guide! This powerful resource is designed to support faculty and staff in developing their assessment plan(s). These step-by-step guides for academic and non-academic units will guide you through creating and writing each component of your plan, including Goals, Objectives, Indicators/KPIs, Criterion/Targets, Findings/Results, Actions, and the Plan for Continuous Improvement.

Whether you are drafting your first plan or refining an existing one, the AI-Assisted Plan Guide will save you time, provide clear structure, and offer prompts aligned with SHSU's assessment framework. This resource is designed to simplify and expedite the process while also enhancing the quality and impact of your assessment planning.

Senate Bill 17 - Reminder

When determining and inputting assessment elements, users should keep in mind that the words 'diverse,' 'inclusion,' and 'equity' in and of themselves do not create a compliance issue; however, context related to programs, services, training, etc., should be evaluated for compliance. Users can consult the TSUS SB 17 Guidance - First Publication document available at https://www.tsus.edu/offices/general-counsel.html for guidance on what is prohibited or permissible. For questions related to SB 17 compliance, please reach out to the Office of Compliance and Insurance at 936.294.1065 or complianceandinsurance@shsu.edu.
