Collaborating with Faculty to Improve Assessments
Hours: 2
Come collaborate with faculty to improve your assessment writing to support all phases of learning. Learn best practices and design specifications for implementing a wide variety of assessment items, including different formats and depths of knowledge. You will have guidance and time to practice item writing, review items, and build diversified assessments. You will participate in large group activities, small group activities, and will have individual working time. You will also receive materials to help generate high quality assessment items following the session.
Additionally, you will learn strategies from the Community College Pathways’ Networked Improvement Community for building a network of faculty members at ACC who can support each other and become assessment leaders in their respective programs. The session will also be tailored to fit the particular interests of ACC faculty. Before the session, attendees will receive a survey asking about learning goals and interests.
