Description

Ryne Skytta, the graduate student assigned to the Engagement Council, worked with Meg Mulrooney and Keston Fulcher to identify instruments that are currently in use at JMU and that contain items with a clear relationship to civic engagement outcomes. These instruments included the National Survey of Student Engagement, the Cluster Four assessment test, which measures knowledge of American political traditions, and the Continuing Student Survey, among others. Skytta entered each item into a table and mapped it to one of the three kinds of engagement (community, civic, or engaged learning).
