ABET is proud to announce the launch of four new credentialing courses in program assessment, marking a significant step forward in our commitment to empowering educators. These virtual courses, designed by experts in the field, aim to equip professors and academic leaders with the specialized skills required to excel in program assessment at their institutions. With a flexible, self-paced structure that allows participants to take courses individually or stack them to earn a comprehensive Program Assessment Design and Develop certificate, ABET is providing a tailored learning experience that fits the diverse needs of today’s educators.
Robyn Hall, ABET’s director of professional programs, said the courses are more than just an educational offering; they are a pathway to professional growth and leadership in higher education.
“By enabling participants to earn badges for each completed course or a certificate for all four, we are ensuring that educators have the tools they need to advance their careers and make a meaningful impact on student outcomes,” Hall said.
The launch of these courses aligns with ABET’s strategic initiative to continue furthering our mission to provide resources that support continuous improvement and development. As the landscape of higher education evolves, the ability to effectively assess and improve student learning has become increasingly crucial. These courses are designed to meet this demand and to position educators as leaders in their field, able to enhance their ability to teach an increasingly diverse population of learners.
“By offering these credentialing courses, we are helping to shape the future of education,” said ABET CEO Dr. Michael Milligan. “Educators who complete these programs will be better equipped to lead their institutions toward higher standards of academic excellence, ultimately benefiting both students and the broader educational community.”
For those looking to enhance their professional development, expand their career opportunities or simply become more effective in assessment of student learning, these courses offer a comprehensive solution. ABET invites all educators to seize this opportunity to elevate their skills and take the next step in their professional journey.
