Condition 2:		Program Self-assessment The program must provide an assessment of the degree to which it is fulfilling its mission and achieving its strategic plan. In particular, the program must demonstrate its progress toward achieving the NAAB Perspectives. Included in the assessment must be a solicitation of faculty, student, and alumni feedback on the program's overall curriculum and learning context. Feedback may be obtained through such techniques as surveys and focus groups, but individual course evaluations are not deemed sufficient to provide insight into the program's substantive focus and pedagogy. The NAAB encourages absolute candor in conducting and reporting the self-assessment so that, if well done, it will largely anticipate the VTR. The APR must include the following information: A description of the program's self-assessment process Progress relative to each dimension of the program's mission statement Progress relative to each dimension of the program's strategic plan Faculty, student, and alumni assessments of the program's overall curriculum and learning context, as outlined in the NAAB Perspectives Program strengths and future directions Additional pertinent information Source: 1998 Conditions and Procedures and its 2002 Addendum NAAB 1735 new York Avenue, MW Washington, DC 20006-5292 and http://www.naab.org/information1726/information_show.htm?doc_id=15287
