CAS National Symposium

CAS has announced that it will hold a National Symposium on "CAS Standards, Self-Assessment, and Student Learning Outcomes in Higher Education," November 15-17, 2009, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel in Washington, D.C. The goal of the national symposium is to strengthen the higher education community's understanding of the CAS standards and guidelines.

In addition to a pre-workshop on learning about "CAS Basics," nationally recognized speakers, round table discussions and "hands-on" learning opportunities will be offered during the symposium for:

• The new learning domains
• Finding the right assessment tool
• Training staff to conduct assessment
• Writing learning outcomes
• Organizing a division-wide assessment.

These and other programs are planned by the CAS National Symposium Committee.
