Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

We need to rethink the way we assess learning. If this pandemic has taught us anything, it's that teachers can no longer be the fountain of all knowledge and that learning needs to take place even outside of the classroom. A big part of that learning is assessment. There are many great tools out there to help with formative and summative assessment, but in this session, we'll dig deeper into strategies to insure proper evaluation of learning beyond a multiple choice quiz.
