Abstract

This document collates the resources and documents the processes used to support the successful development and implementation of a strategy to nationally benchmark the assessment of speech pathology students' clinical learning via COMPASS® (McAllister et al 2006) to inform quality improvement of the curriculum. This information should be read in conjuction with the final report for the Benchmarking COMPASS® for Curriclum Renewal project (McAllister et al 2011).

The project provides a model for mutually beneficial collaborative work across universities and among disciplines within a shared framework of standards for learning and teaching. It has demonstrated that academics across universities are able to effectively collaborate to use and share this information to inform their practice.

The resources in this document provide an illustration of a successful strategy to engage diverse stakeholders with a cross-insitutional project that addresses potentially sensitive issues such as differences in student performances and learning outcomes across universities. A number of the materials provide a template that could be adapted to support similar initiatives.
