Looking for new ways to engage students in their learning? Interested in maximizing student achievement next semester? Look no further! The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is hosting a formative assessment workshop. The session will use an interactive “card game,” adapted from a learning exercise developed by colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin. We will explore a number of formative assessment strategies and discuss best practices as we match strategies to learning goals and core competencies.
One of the purposes of this workshop is to identify FA strategies that align to your student learning goals. Please come prepared to share at least one learning goal from your course.
Objectives
- Describe the purpose and benefits of formative assessment (FA).
- Describe multiple FA strategies.
- Select 1 or 2 FA strategies that align to their learning objectives.
- Pilot a method/strategy with students to achieve learning objectives.
