Critical Teaching Behaviors
What does “good teaching” mean, and what does it look like? Perhaps you have grappled with this question, either to grow your teaching effectiveness or to assess the teaching of others. This book club is for you!
Assess through meaningful and transparent techniques and feedback
Instructors who integrate assessment into their teaching develop and facilitate transparent, meaningful assessment tasks to provide students with timely feedback on their learning and measure achievement of learning outcomes. They regularly review data to improve instruction.
In this session, we will discuss:
- Aligning assessments with goals and activities
- Scheduling regular summative assessments to measure progress toward outcomes
- Embedding formative assessments and opportunities for self-assessment
- Communicating purpose, task, and criteria for assessments
- Providing timely, constructive, and actionable feedback to students
- Reviewing assessment data to make informed decisions
Join us to learn observable behaviors and strategies to identify concrete areas of strengths and need for improvement in course delivery and design.
