Assessment Series Part 2: Backward Design, Imagine Your Classroom

Part 2: Backward Design, Imagine Your Classroom
This is part 2 of our Assessment Series, moving from rubrics to Imagine Your Classroom. All are invited! Please come even if you did not have the opportunity to attend Part 1: Rubrics.

In this session, attendees will consider different ways to assess learning in their classroom such as balancing rigor with different student expectations of explicit assessment. This will be an interactive learning session. Please bring examples of ways that you currently assess your students. Attendees will receive a matrix that can be used as a guide to map an interconnection of rubrics and your assessment activities in a big picture view of the course and how it functions.

**LIGHT REFRESHMENTS AND SNACKS WILL BE SERVED**

Intended Audience: All Syracuse University Full time, Adjunct and Ph.D. Face-to-Face and Online Faculty.

Intended Audience: All Syracuse University Full time, Adjunct and Ph.D. Face-to-Face and Online Faculty.

This session will focus on creating engaging student questions using Bloom’s Taxonomy as the basis. The following concepts will be discussed during this session:

  • Students learn key concepts better when they have opportunities to actively monitor their understanding.
  • Knowledge is socially constructed and people learn best in supportive social settings when working with peers.
  • Students become better learners when we challenge them to answer questions that require the use of higher order thinking skills.

Objectives of this session are:

  • Develop your own self-awareness and analysis of your current questioning techniques
  • Identify key features of good questioning
  • To enhance the planning for and use of questions

**REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED**

The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning at the iSchool looks forward to having you join us for what will be an enlightening and engaging workshop on breathing new life into your classroom.
