Description
AAC&U’s VALUE (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education) approach to assessment was developed to provide a collaborative, faculty- devised, and faculty-influenced approach to assessing the quality of student learning on outcomes that educators and employers agree are essential for student success. Workshop participants will be empowered to use rubrics in their classrooms and/or programs by discussing rubric best practices and resources for using the VALUE rubrics in ways that best fit their context. During this workshop, participants will begin modifying and customizing VALUE rubrics. Overall, this workshop will delve into how we design our assessment practices for meaningful, authentic, and impactful assessment, together serving to underscore the critical connections among teaching, learning, and assessment.
