Using Assessment as a Tool for Equity and Inclusion

August 13, 2020

11AM - 12noon ET

Via Zoom

We must create processes to ensure equity and inclusion as our campuses diversify. Often viewed as an objective, data-driven process for accountability and improvement, assessment not only must be implemented in an equitable way, but it can also be a vehicle for equity and inclusion. This reconceptualization of assessment requires an unpacking of the philosophical underpinnings of assessment practice as well as exploration into how assessment can be used to understand and deconstruct systems of power and oppression in higher education. This session will provide an overview of key concepts related to equity-minded assessment and tips for implementing this approach on campus.

Presented by:
