In 2006, the Association completed this four-year program that addressed the ability of theological schools to understand the character of learning that religious vocation requires and the schools'ability to develop the resources and skills needed to assess the attainment of such learning. Program elements included five research studies and school-based efforts that developed patterns, models, and resources for use by other ATS member institutions. The project, funded by Lilly Endowment, generated helpful assessment resources.
