Equitable Assessments

1 month 2 weeks ago

This 90-minute interactive workshop webinar is part of the Inclusive Teaching at a Predominantly White Institution Workshop Series. Assessments of student learning are graded or ungraded assignments and activities that measure learning. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to three key principles that make assessments more equitable: 1) using multiple assessment types (formative and summative), 2) providing options and choices for students to demonstrate their learning, and 3) being specific and transparent about student expectations.

This 6-workshop series explores inclusive teaching by focusing on racial and Indigenous dynamics. We will explore the context of the UMN as a Predominantly White Institution (PWI) and its implications for classroom climate, equitable pedagogy, diversifying course content, and equitable assessments. The first workshop on Pedagogy Basics will provide a refresher on tools and practices that will be referenced in the following workshops.
