Together with Humanities
Student Assessment Program
Assessment is an essential and ongoing component of the Together with Humanities (TwH) program.
Inspired by the Students as Learners and Teachers (SaLT) program, each TwH course is paired with a Student Assessment Partner who meets regularly with faculty partners to understand student learning and develop recommendations for improvement.
Student Assessment Partners work 4-8 hours per week as a paid researcher and consultant, where they:
- Collaborate with a team of students, faculty, and staff to design research questions and assessment goals
- Apply key qualitative research skills in an educational assessment setting, including observation, interviews, and data annotation and synthesis
- Provide recommendations to faculty, staff, and granting agencies that shape the future of humanities and language coursework at Haverford
Employment Opportunities
We are now hiring Student Assessment Partners for Fall 2025! Partners may not be enrolled in the course that they are evaluating, and must be available to attend at least one course meeting per week; for course clusters, partners must be available to attend both courses regularly. To apply, we ask that you:
- Fill out a short application survey indicating why you are interested in the position
- Secure two recommendations, one from a student and one from a member of the Haverford or Bryn Mawr faculty, staff, or administration
- Have recommenders send a very brief but substantive recommendation via email to Emily Drummond (edrummond [at] haverford.edu) explaining why you would be an effective consultant
- Recommenders should comment on your capacity to i) analyze and brainstorm solutions to complex pedagogical issues; ii) carry out research independently and collaboratively; and iii) communicate respectfully and effectively
Applications for Student Assessment Partners are due by Monday, May 5, 2025. Please contact Emily Drummond (edrummond [at] haverford.edu) with any questions about the role or the program.
