Title: Demonstrating Excellence Through Assessment: Measuring Students' Knowledge, Values, and Skills
Abstract: Excellence in social work education is partially measured by the degree to which assessment models support program uniqueness, foster micro and macro learning, and link mission, goals, and objectives to student outcomes. This article describes an integrated assessment model developed by a small undergraduate social work program that focused on incorporating these characteristics of excellence into student-focused assessments. A modified portfolio approach culminating in a senior research colloquium was chosen because it not only supports student growth and development, but also provides a forum for internal and external reviewers to objectively evaluate student performance. The strengths and limitations of this assessment model for students, faculty, advisory members, and undergraduate social work programs, are identified.
