9:00-12:00 Assessing What Matters Most
What must students need to be able to know and do when they complete your course or program? How do you know if they think differently about the world, internalizing core concepts, as a result of the learning experience? This hands-on session will guide you through a series of prompts about your goals with students and current practices in order for you to think about, contextualize, and convey your work in new ways. We will explore tools and apply concepts from backward design, critical thinking, and the assessment cycle.
