The Office of Assessment has selected the College of Human Ecology's athletic training program for the 2017 Excellence in Assessment Citation. The recognition highlights exemplary assessment processes and practices at K-State.

The Office of Assessment recognizes the athletic training program for its efforts and achievements in the following areas:

  • Specificity and rigor in critical thinking assessments.
  • Multiple rounds of assessment that provide feedback for students and document increased levels of achievement. This provides clear evidence that the assessments are instructional rather than purely evaluative.
  • Assessment tasks that reflect authentic, real-world learning expectations.
  • Clear benchmark levels of achievement that expose specific needs.
  • The use of results to guide instructional enhancement.
  • Well-designed assessment of academic and professional integrity.

Leading the assessment efforts in this program is associate professor Phillip Vardiman. Read more about Vardiman's work online
