English translation:the strategic orientation and the evaluation process for objectives
Explanation:
I would reformulate:

To assess the strategic orientation and the evaluation process for objectives and teaching strategies

I read this as the committee accomplishing two tasks

1. assessing the overall strategic orientation of the institution (no "s" here in Eng. IMO)
2. assessing a process for evaluating two things
a. objectives
b. teaching strategies

As a teacher, I am quite certain of (b). Everything else could be phrased otherwise

I also found "strategic directions" for orientations stratégiques (see refs.) but I still prefer orientation (no "s").

the strategies and tactics


Explanation:
Word for word it would be "to confirm the strategies and the questioning of aims and means".

However, the "aims and means" of any strategy are the tactics.
