Workshop Overview¶
In this workshop, we will discuss assessment from the assignment level to the course level that aligns with learning and equity. We will first outline key terms, show how assessment can encourage learning and support equity. Next, participants will practice applying the new terminology and theoretical grounding by studying examples. Finally, participants will get to revise materials for their own courses.

During the Workshop, we will guide you through several activities (see our full agenda) to modify your course(s) to better motivate and engage students via centering learning and equity in your courses’ assessment.
