They are the best places to network with colleagues and learn about the latest assessment practices. Some of the best-known conferences include the following: The Middle States Annual Conference, held each December, always features presentations and poster sessions on assessment. For more information, visit HYPERLINK "http://www.msche.org"http://www.msche.org and click on Events. The Assessment Institute in Indianapolis, held in late October or early November, is the countrys largest conference devoted solely to assessment in higher education. For more information, visit HYPERLINK "http://planning.iupui.edu/conferences/national/nationalconf.html"http://planning.iupui.edu/conferences/national/nationalconf.html. The Association for Institutional Research Annual Forum, held each May, devotes a track to assessment. For more information, visit HYPERLINK "http://www.airweb.org"http://www.airweb.org. The National Conference on First Year Assessment, sponsored by the National Center on the First Year of College and Students in Transition, offers models and best practices than can often be applied beyond the first college year. For more information, visit HYPERLINK "http://www.sc.edu/fye/index.html"http://www.sc.edu/fye/index.html and click on Events. The Atlantic Assessment Conference ( HYPERLINK "http://www.meredith.edu/rpa2009/aac/" http://www.meredith.edu/rpa2009/aac/), the Texas A&M Assessment Conference (HYPERLINK "http://assessment.tamu.edu/conference/"http://assessment.tamu.edu/conference/), and the New England Educational Assessment Network Fall Forum ( HYPERLINK "http://neean.southernct.edu" http://neean.southernct.edu) each attracts several hundred people from across the country. Their smaller size makes them ideal for networking. Subscribe to Assessment Update. This peer-reviewed quarterly publication is the closest thing the American higher education community has to an assessment journal. It always includes articles on cutting-edge practices by assessment practitioners. To subscribe, visit HYPERLINK "http://www.josseybass.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-AU.html"http://www.josseybass.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-AU.html. Search the massive Internet Resources for Higher Education Outcomes Assessment sponsored by North Carolina State University (HYPERLINK "http://www2.acs.ncsu.edu/UPA/assmt/resource.htm"http://www2.acs.ncsu.edu/UPA/assmt/resource.htm). Among its hundreds of links are assessment handbooks, institutional assessment websites, and information on assessment of specific disciplines and skills. Join the Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE). This new and largely virtual organization ( HYPERLINK "http://aalhe.org" http://aalhe.org) has a growing network of blogs, online communities of practice, and resources. Join the ASSESS listserv. This is a fairly low-traffic but useful unmediated listserv in which higher education assessment practitioners share ideas on the nuts and bolts of assessment. To join or search the archives, visit HYPERLINK "http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/assess.html"http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/assess.html. Contact your disciplinary association. More and more are providing assessment models and resources. If yours isnt, lobby them to offer this service! Read key publications identifying examples of good practices. Among them: Banta, T.
