The NEIU Assessment team consists of one non-faculty position and five faculty representatives with one faculty member taking a lead role as the coordinator of program assessment. The oversight of the team is within the perspective of the Associate Provost for Innovation and Academic Assessment. The assessment team collaboratively helps address all the needs of the assessment process from strategizing on goals and assessment measures to the technological aspects.

I have been a higher education professional since 2004 working primarily on the technological side of education administering learning management systems.
Starting on February 18 2019, I started as the Assessment Coordinator and Data Analyst for the Goodwin College of Education. Some of these responsibilities include coordinating our various assessment activities, remaining current on accreditation requirements, updating and maintaining the GCOE quality assurance and assessment system, interfacing with programs engaged in assessment work and supporting the Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) portfolio process.
