Learning Assessment Lead

The Learning Assessment Lead will partner with faculty to create performance tasks, oral defenses, simulations, portfolios, and other assessments that make student thinking visible. Working in a collaborative studio with instructional designers, researchers, product staff, and media specialists, the role will develop reusable assessment patterns and support their adoption across courses and degree programs. The position also involves leading faculty cohorts, coaching instructors through course revisions, and applying learning science principles such as backward design and constructive alignment. Success will be assessed through research into effects on student learning, engagement, and persistence. This opportunity suits an experienced higher education educator or learning designer who has designed and evaluated assessments and can facilitate change with faculty. The position is hybrid and requires reliable commuting to Scottsdale, Arizona.
