Adapting Assessment Tools
Full text linkThis article describes the process of redesigning student assessment tools for field education at the Catholic Theological Union (CTU). The author recognized that existing evaluation tools did not adequately capture the nuances of student development in ministerial settings. Through research, focus groups, and collaboration with site supervisors and faculty, CTU transformed its evaluation tool into an assessment tool that better supports student growth.The new assessment framework uses a five-point Likert scale ranging from "Basic" to "Integration," measuring 27 specific competencies across theological, pastoral, and personal formation.

Initial feedback indicates that the tool better facilitates growth-oriented discussions and provides clearer pathways for improvement
