Summary:This article presents 10 Meta-Trends from the newly released "Trends in Assessment: Ideas, Opportunities, and Issues for Higher Education" - Second Edition, through our publishing partner, Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group. The Meta-Trends represent enduring and emerging perspectives related to higher education assessment and improvement. They are organized around the important concepts of: (1) Student Success; (2) Teaching and Learning; (3) Professional Development; and (4) Assessment and Improvement. The Meta-Trends are: "Meta-Trend 1: Foster opportunities to intentionally integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work"; "Meta-Trend 2: Collaborate with students--as learning partners--to advance student learning and success"; "Meta-Trend 3: Support the holistic development of students, including their personal, academic, and professional needs and identities"; "Meta-Trend 4: Focus on quality and fidelity in designing and implementing learning experience"; "Meta-Trend 5: Engage stakeholders throughout the learning enterprise, including in curricular, cocurricular, community, and experiential setting"; "Meta-Trend 6: Use inclusive sources and credible evidence in assessing learning"; "Meta-Trend 7: Build capacity for assessment through professional development, rewards, and recognition"; "Meta-Trend 8: Promote institutional cultures to sustain, scale, and improve learning interventions"; "Meta-Trend 9: Appreciate the role assessment contributes to understanding and improving the higher education ecosystem"; and "Meta-Trend 10: Recognize that assessment remains a work-in-progress, reliant on individual and collective efforts to achieve its potential."
