CLEAR serves as the offices for the Director of Assessment and the Director of Instructional Development. The mission of CLEAR is to help spearhead the University’s efforts to become a more intentional learning organization. In providing essential support and resources, the objectives of CLEAR are to: 1) Lead the institutional efforts to maintain educational effectiveness and excellence, 2) Provide a strategic focus on instructional development, student learning and assessing student learning outcomes, 3) Assist in the assessment of our institutional impact on the intellectual, spiritual, and character development of our students, 4) Effectively utilize the results of assessment for ongoing strategic planning and improvement. To accomplish these objectives, CLEAR works with academic and co–curricular programs as they develop, schedule and implement effective program reviews, with faculty as they participate in development opportunities, and with departments as they assess student learning outcomes and teaching effectiveness. The Director of Instructional Services works along with the CLEAR office to support teaching and learning by maintaining a faculty lab with the most up–to–date computer workstations, offering assistance with graphic design and presentation development and servicing state–of–the–art technology–enhanced classrooms throughout the Biola campus.
