About the talk
Through this workshop with educator Jennifer Swinehart, explore ways to increase student agency when designing assessment for adolescent learners. Specifically, consider how to engage students as active users of feedback, and cultivate self-directed learners throughout the assessment cycle. Applicable both for an online setting as well as for face-to-face instruction, actively reflect on how you may use these strategies in your own classrooms.
Key objectives
- Put yourself in the shoes of your students as you reflect on how they might perceive assessments and how you can make them less daunting
- Find new ways to inspire students to showcase their mastery
- Foster student autonomy by making them an active part in their assessment journey
- Explore the many ways you can involve a real world problem or a local context into an assessment
