<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Leslie<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a few good resources I would like to suggest though I do not have a lot that is specific to tutoring. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <a href="https://www.cas.edu/">Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education</a> (CAS) provides standards for all different types of offices within Student Affairs. They have their standards book that can be purchased.
There is also a brief description of CAS standards for <a href="https://nadeaccreditation.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/cas-standards-and-guidelines-for-learning-assistance-programs-2018.pdf">
learning assistance programs</a> that you can access. I have attached an article on Assessment of Tutoring that used the CAS standards. It is from 2009 but may still be useful. I am not sure I would use the SWOT analysis as they do in the article but it is
definitely one way to look at it. I have slowly moved to a more appreciative approach to doing assessment. SOAR is an alternative to SWOT which stands for Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results. Here is a
<a href="https://work.cibhs.org/sites/main/files/file-attachments/soar_handout.pdf?1517504058">
worksheet</a> you can look at to get an idea of how it works.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is the <a href="http://studentaffairsassessment.org/">
Student Affairs Assessment Leaders</a> organization that has a variety of resources that can be accessed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ACPA sponsors an annual <a href="https://myacpa.org/event/saai-2023/">
Student Affairs Assessment Institute</a>. At a previous position, I took a team of 7 people to go through it as we were developing an assessment plan. It helped us to focus on common language and develop our own plan. It is beneficial to send a team but the
team could be smaller than 7. I was lucky to have the budget to send that many people to the Institute.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hi, all. We’re prepping for a mid-cycle accreditation visit (that just happens to be scheduled for the same dates as our next WSSSC meeting). An area for growth for us is the assessment of co-curricular
learning. We thought we’d start this fall with developing a plan for assessing tutoring services.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I’d sincerely appreciate receiving any guidance you might have as we learn how to improve co-curricular assessment. Books to read? Frameworks we might follow? I’m open to any and all input.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
