Why Are We Still Talking About Assessment?

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Assessment is critical to student learning. As teachers, we take on multiple roles during the assessment cycle, including planner, coach and judge. During this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to explore three questions related to these roles: • How do we plan assessment with the end in mind? • How do we support the learner to successfully meet curricular outcomes? • How do we ensure the credibility of our judgments? By engaging in a variety of activities, participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their assessment practices and consider how to use assessment effectively to support student learning.
