Administrative Assessment
TK20
Tk20 is Mason’s assessment planning and reporting software tool. All academic and administrative units will enter their annual assessment data in this system. Tk20 is a robust, interactive tool that can be used for tracking progress toward goals, and reporting for accreditation.
All administrative and student support units are required to identify goals and assess outcomes in support of the University’s Strategic Plan. These goals should be clearly aligned to the mission of the unit and focus on strengthening and improving critical functions, services and processes that impact stakeholder satisfaction, and or initiatives and projects that contribute to the university’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. Units that have student learning as part of their mission will need to be sure to include one or more goals related to student learning achievement.
All administrative and student support units must enter the unit’s mission statement, goals, objectives, methods and measures, results and analysis, and improvement plans into Tk20 as shown in the example below.
