VALUE Week: September 14-17, 2026
A series of four free webinars presenting AAC&U’s authentic approach to assessment.
Across the VALUE Week webinars, you'll engage deeply with AAC&U's VALUE (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education) rubrics—open educational resources that clearly articulate and measure the skills, abilities, and dispositions that students need for success and that employers and policymakers value. VALUE Week will provide practical insights and tools to transform how you approach student learning assessment.
Don’t miss these opportunities to connect with experts in authentic assessment, learn from our VALUE campus partners, and discover how authentic assessment and the VALUE rubrics can enhance both teaching effectiveness and student learning.
