Facilator: Jaime Wood
The assessments we give our students' to help measure their learning can have a significant impact on their attitudes about school, our disciplines, and their own ability to succeed in college. This interactive remote workshop uses activities, discussions, and resource sharing to consider how assessments can promote (or discourage) a growth mindset and what we can do to provide students with feedback that will encourage them to persist in the face of challenges.
