Writing Reports and Conducting Briefings: An Introduction

With today’s increasing focus on accountability, measurement and results, assessments are most likely a fixture on your campus, and one of your key responsibilities in Student Affairs.

That means assessment reporting is also one of your responsibilities–and probably a challenging one.

A lot can go wrong with reports and briefings: they can be too jargon-heavy; too detailed; too vague.

But they don’t have to be that way. It is possible to create reports and briefings that are focused, interesting, on-target and–dare we say?–dynamic.

John H. Schuh, Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies at Iowa State University and author, guides you through the process step-by-step in this 60-minute seminar.

He helps you avoid pitfalls and shows you how to convey your message with clarity and impact.

In this seminar discover:

• How to reach the right audience.
• How to select the best venues for sharing assessment results.
• How to be sure you’re delivering the information your audience wants.
• How to write a good report, from executive summary to results and recommendations.
• How to organize your information hierarchically.
• Do’s and don’ts for tables, charts, statistics and PowerPoints.
• How to conduct an effective briefing for interested stakeholders.
• How to properly handle potentially controversial results.

We present a thorough examination of the reporting process. You’ll come away with a wealth of useful techniques and a solid grasp of best practices.

Who will benefit:

• Student Affairs professionals, from the VP to entry-level management positions.
• Anyone who is required to write reports or explain findings of studies.
