Abstract: This qualitative inquiry examines the extent to which assessment is integrated into curricular and instructional planning and analysis at higher education institutions. To accomplish this purpose, the researchers conducted interviews with assessment leaders using semi-structured questions at eight different higher education institutions, selected from a larger pool of institutions recommended by four well-known and respected assessment scholars and practitioners. Following a thematic analysis of the qualitative results, the researchers advocate an assessment integration model that includes seven components: leadership, assessment purpose, assessment process, reward and recognition, collaboration, and accreditation. For each of these components, the researchers describe challenges and best practices. The project aims to enhance assessment beyond reporting and accountability, to focus instead on planning, implementing, and integrating practices to maximize learning and improvement.
