Rethinking Assessments Through an Equity Lens

Many post-secondary educators are wondering: How do I practically live up to my principles and commitments to support all students given the increasing complexity of student needs? For whom are my current assessment practices working and not working? What barriers might assessment practices be inadvertently creating for students? In this session, we will think critically and collaboratively about our current practices: Which practices might we affirm, refine, adopt or abandon to better support student learning? We will also consider how to engage fellow educators in thinking critically about assessment through this lens.
