520 |a The purpose of this report is to describe, evaluate, and validate a pilot assessment center (AC) established in the Center for Leadership and Personal Development at the U.S. Military Academy to develop cadets on job skills needed by newly commissioned officers in the U.S. Army. The AC programs employ a leadership evaluation development method whereby cadets participate in a variety of simulations of a second lieutenant's job. During the course of the simulations, trained assessors observe and evaluate each cadet's performance, and later provide feedback to each participant regarding strengths and weaknesses on important military skills. To evaluate the program, 18 cadets and seven assessors completed anonymous questionnaires. In addition, role players' comments were obtained, and oral feedback was solicited from cadets and assessors during and after the pilot. Data were also gathered to validate the AC for developmental purposes, in terms of both concurrent and content-related validities. Results of the evaluation and validation are discussed. (BW)
