The Commission for ACPA and Evaluation (CAE) is excited to announce our endorsement of the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education’s (AALHE) new ten Assessment Principles for Best Practice—ACCELERATE! Originally established by the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE), these principles have effectively guided assessment for years, but the current landscape—marked by technological change and urgent calls for greater equity and accountability—demands their thorough revision. Over the past year, AALHE revised its principles and rebranded them as ACCELERATE: Assessment Principles for Best Practices. As the new ACCELERATE Principles for Best Practices are distributed and discussed, we encourage you to begin incorporating these standards into your daily assessment work. Furthermore, look to CAE for upcoming professional development opportunities designed to guide you in integrating these principles into your practice. You can review the full ACCELERATE Principles now using the link provided.
