Abstract

Core skillsets for student affairs educators have been articulated in several professional standards. However, the expected assessment skillset is not always addressed in graduate programs; in turn, many student affairs educators feel unprepared to engage in outcomes assessment. Our study showcases the utility of a new equity-centered meta-assessment rubric to provide needed assessment training to student affairs educators. Results support the use of this rubric to advance equitable assessment and programming on college campuses.
