Alternative Assessments: Supporting Equity and Access


Event Details

  • Date:

Students come to our classrooms as unique individuals with diverse experiences and backgrounds. We use assessments to measure student understanding and progress. Assessments must measure student progress while still accomodating learner differences. We must design our assessments with diversity in learner needs at the forefront. What alternative assessments exist and how can they support equity and access? In this 75 minutes interactive workshop facilitated by Stephanie Corrente (College of Staten Island), participants will: consider how choice of assessment impacts access and equity in the classroom and discuss and explore examples of alternative assessments.
