The Culture of Assessment Matrix is a one-page rubric intended to provide institutions of higher education with a simplistic way to quickly gauge the status of their institution's assessment culture and the degree to which the culture is an integral part of the institution's operations, expectations, methods of accountability, and reward systems. While the notion of ascertaining assessment culture in higher education is not novel, the ability to do so quickly and without the expense of surveys and consultants is novel to the degree to which it is largely inaccessible to most institutions unless there are dedicated institutional assessment staff available on the campus. Consultants and dedicated staff can be a cost-prohibitive asset that is not necessary for all college campuses. With that being stated, the Culture of Assessment Matrix requires no more than dedicated professionals who can assess their institution with a critical eye and willingness to improve.
