Seven Levers for Higher and Deeper Learning: Research-based Guidelines and Strategies for Using Assessment to Improve Teaching and Learning
How much would you trust a physician, engineer, athletic coach, or nurse who did not keep up with and apply lessons from relevant research in his/her field? Or one who could not apply basic principles of good practice to new situations, with new client populations, or in using new technologies? Probably not much. Yet many faculty, student affairs leaders, and academic administrators remain (relatively) unaware of current research -- in psychology, cognitive science, and education -- on teaching, learning, and assessment and on its relevance to our daily practice. This interactive session will explore seven research-based guidelines and provide examples of simple, powerful applications of assessment to improve teaching and student learning in and beyond our (virtual and actual) classrooms and co-curricular programs.

Harnessing Cats and Colts: Linking Classroom Assessment and Collaborative Learning Techniques
Engaging students in productive group work is critical to deep, lasting learning—but also very hard to do well. Likewise, formative assessment can contribute greatly to learning by providing early feedback, but it can also be difficult to manage and time consuming. In this interactive session, we'll consider and experiment with simple, practical, and mutually supportive classroom assessment techniques (CATs) and collaborative learning techniques (CoLTs) that can make teaching and learning more engaging and more effective whether in the classroom or in co-curricular settings.
3:30 – 4:30 p.m.: Questions, Answers, and Discussion
Open to all faculty and staff.
