UDL and Assessment: How to Critically Assess your Assessment
Wednesday, June 19, 10:00-11:00
Online
Facilitator: Erin Scanlon, Physics
The purpose of this talk is to introduce the Variations Planning Tool (VPT) to identify barriers within assessment processes and the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework as a tool to design instruction and curricula that support variation in learners’ needs, abilities, and interests. The UDL guidelines emphasize providing supports and options for how students receive information (representation), demonstrate their understanding (action and expression), and engage with the content (engagement). Attendees will have the opportunity to: 1) reflect on their role in designing assessment that supports learner variability; and 2) practice applying the VPT and UDL guidelines to identify barriers in common assessment practices.
