ICC Assessment

Purpose of course: ICC Assessment presents future professionals (international educators, administrators, advisors, teachers, and more) with both the theory behind and the practical application of intercultural assessment. This course begins by defining intercultural assessment and identifying a wide range of intercultural assessment instruments; next, it focuses on understanding specific purposes of assessment instruments as well as selecting appropriate assessment instruments; and then developing a needs analysis of a particular group for the purpose of implementing the assessment/s; and finally evaluating the assessment process and outcomes.

Learning outcomes: Students will develop an understanding of the art, science, and implementation of intercultural assessment tools in order to design, develop, and administer intercultural assessments to a variety of constituents.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

Understand the different intercultural assessment tools available and distinguish the purposes (as well as pros/cons) of each based upon the audience

Create a needs assessment of a specific target group

Select the appropriate assessment tools needed for specific audiences.

Prepare a guided learning experience through the use of an intercultural assessment/s
