In this collection, we have gathered notes on and links to eight validated surveys, curated here in the HubICL, that align to one or more of the aspects of intercultural competence as defined in the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence rubric.  Of these eight instruments, five are free or offer a valid and reliable free version; while two offer an immediate free feedback report to the learner.  These are our current "go-to" surveys when attempting to support a study abroad instructor through the use of the worksheet for intentional intercultural planning.

This collection gathers together links and provides notes about four items that will help you make sense of qualitative data and behavioral data, designated as Group B on the worksheet for intentional intercultural learning, above.  It also contains links to an earlier HubICL collection which suggests readings that will improve your ability to advocate for the use of qualitative data analysis and to do it better.

This collection gather together and annotates links to all of the formative tools listed as "Group A" on the intercultural action plan worksheet.

This toolkit contains an action planning worksheet, which will assist the instructor or program designer in thinking about what the student(s) will be able to do better as a result of participating in a study abroad program or other intercultural learning opportunity, using the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence Rubric as its definitional framework. In addition, it contains brief descriptions of and direct links to a set of recommended assessment instruments for each facet of intercultural competence.

This collection was created to highlight qualitative methods for assessing intercultural and global competence and qualitative tools in the HubICL, principally those which are open-source. It also provides access to some key readings about validity and reliability of qualitative research.

This collection gathers together validated surveys considered for use by Purdue as part of its Inclusive Advising Initiative, which provided curated learning opportunities to academic advisors about how to work more effectively across racial and ethnic difference.

Constructs which the team wished to measure included self-awareness, implicit bias, cultural humility and intention for self-reflection.

This collection curates game-based approaches to fostering the basic elements of intercultural and inclusivity competence.  It includes board games, card games, a few free video games, and even a "Lego"-based approach to creating "aha" moments around privilege and identity. Many of them are also appropriate with or even designed for learners of pre-college ages (look for the tag K-12). Some come with downloadable materials and lesson plans.

This collection brings together the supplemental materials from the 2020 Intercultural Assessment Smackdown performed as a 30 minute session at the 2020 IUPUI Assessment Institute , by Dr. Aletha Stahl & Katherine Yngve; now available on Youtube at this location.

According the Center for Urban Education, at USC, "The term “Equity-Mindedness” refers to the perspective or mode of thinking exhibited by practitioners who call attention to patterns of inequity in student outcomes. These practitioners are willing to take personal and institutional responsibility for the success of their students, and critically reassess their own practices. Practing Equity-Centered Assessment requires that practitioners are race-conscious and aware of the social and historical context of exclusionary practices in American Higher Education." 

In this collection, we highlight assessment tools that are designed to be explicitly conscious of race, ethnicity & the history of exclusionary practices in education, and therefore, to help the practitioner or the institution practice equity-minded assessment of student learning and the student experience.

This collection pulls together all of the rubrics available on the HubICL for assessing intercultural learning.  As of June 2021, there are eight of them.We've also included the Purdue version of the AAC&U intercultural competence rubric which served as a foundational document for the HubICL sorting categories.

Finally, as a bonus, we've including a link to a blog article that explains how to make sense of qualitative data!

According to McArthur (2016; see article within this folder):

"Assessment for social justice is a two-pronged concept.  It refers both to the justice of assessment within higher education, and to the role of assessment in nurturing the forms of learning that will promote greater social justice within society as a whole."

This collection includes definitions, models, a list of case studies, a list of suggested instruments, and more. Assessment for Social Justice is a relatively new area of professional practice which coalesced into a movement in North America in 2018.  It has a rich scholarly & theoretical history, however, dating back to at least 1977.

A collection of free activities and assessment instruments for moving beyond outrage to changing minds.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

This collection includes all the assessments available in the Toolbox.
