Teagle Collaborative

The Teagle Collaborative, "A Catalyst for Cognizance and Change," includes Kalamazoo College, Colorado College, and Earlham College. The collaborative is carrying out a four-year project, funded by the Teagle Foundation, that combines quantitative and qualitative means of gathering data and stories, in support of narratives about how students become better educated at the three colleges. The collaborative has administered the Cooperative Institutional Research Project (CIRP) Survey, the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), and the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA), and has held student focus groups and annual data-sharing conversations to assess the value added by these institutions to their students' intellectual and personal growth. At the meeting in April, members of the collaborative will gather to share what has been learned through assessment projects on each campus and to make plans for future projects.
