UPDATED in response to the 2022 Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS).

We designed this text to take the guesswork out of the assessment process for social work educators in many roles-program directors, assessment coordinators, field directors, faculty, program staff-in social work education programs. We intend for this book to be helpful to those new to the role of assessment as well as to those with years of experience. We hope you find it a resource that provides thoughtful analysis and helpful suggestions.

Each chapter provides literature and discussion of an important topic relevant to social work program assessment. A workbook assignment at the end of each chapter is designed to help you conceptualize where you are in the accreditation/reaffirmation process and apply the knowledge and skills that you are developing through each step of the process. At the end, after completing the workbook examples, you will have put together your program's assessment plan, and understand how to report your outcomes.
