In an effort to provide ongoing professional development opportunities for SAAL members, the Professional Development Committee hosts Structured Conversations. Structured Conversations are monthly interactive assessment webinars. A listing of upcoming webinars and past records can be found below. Check the professional development calendar for a full listing of events.
SAAL Structured Conversations are designed with you in mind. Recognizing the expertise of our colleagues in Student Affairs assessment, we are issuing a call for presentations to share your expertise, perspectives, and best practices in student affairs assessment.
Ready to submit a proposal? Please fill out the form below. SAAL typically hosts one Structured Conversation per month and we accept submissions on a rolling basis. The SAAL Professional Development Committee will coordinate all the logistics for the session including technical support and promotion.
Our next Structured Conversation is in the planning stages!
The SAAL Professional Learning and Development Committee works to provide our community with timely and relevant programming and resources, especially during these critical times in our academic years and eras. We are noticing institutions making difficult decisions around programs and services. Whether this is characterized as right-sizing, sunsetting, or phasing out, there is no reason why data and intention shouldn't have a seat at the table.
Do you or someone you know have experience with Ecocycle Processing Frameworks, creative destruction, data-informed program sunsetting protocol, etc.? Please complete our survey!
Structured Conversations are FREE and anyone can participate. If you are unable to attend a Structured Conversation live or want to review a past Structured Conversation, recordings going back to 2016 are available on the SAAL YouTube Channel. If available, slides and handouts can be found in the SAAL Resource Repository in the folder titled "Structured Conversations."
