NEEAN MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the New England Educational Assessment Network is to promote quality assessment of student learning and development, and thus to enhance the effectiveness of institutions of higher education. NEEAN works toward this mission by:

• Offering its membership opportunities to learn about best practices and emerging trends in assessment through conferences, workshops, institutes, publications and other means;
  
• Reaching out to professionals in higher education as well as to a wide range of associations and policy-making bodies with an interest in higher education;
  
• Promoting the scholarship of assessment through networking, the open exchange of ideas, and grant-funded projects;


• Communicating with the wider public about the complexities of higher education and its value to a democratic society; and


• Striving to become New England’s resource of choice for consulting, referrals, and other assessment-related services.
