For the 2016 ATHE Conference in Chicago I hope to present a roundtable exploring the various ways in which the student learning outcomes in musical theatre courses can be assessed. Questions to consider include, but are not limited to: what sorts of rubrics are used in your courses? What assessment tools have worked and which ones didn’t? How are you linking course-specific outcomes to your institution’s mission? What are the ways in which musical theatre programs have been built or revised in an era when assessment data has become more and more important? Where does accreditation—programmatic, institutional, etc.—fit in? Please note that this roundtable is intended to foster discussions about best practices of assessment, and is inclusive of courses which emphasize the history and theory of musical theatre/dance, and those courses which emphasize performance.

If you are interested in participating, please send the following information to Kathryn Edney (kathryn.edney@regiscollege.edu) by October 23:

* Affiliation
* Rank (Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Lecturer, Adjunct, Graduate Student, etc.)
* A brief (200 words or less) description of what you hope to discuss in the roundtable.
