Inclusive Assessment
Length of Session: 2 hours workshop
How can I ensure that my assessment is inclusive for all students?
What staff need(s) will the workshop meet?
Questions to be addressed through the workshop:
1. How can I make my module assessment(s) more inclusive?
2. What potential biases may lie within my assessment(s)? How might these biases impact my students?
3. Do certain assessment types advantage some students over others
Through this you will...
· be invited to question their own assumptions and biases, and explore how these relate to them as teachers, to the student, and to the institution.
· engage in activities to consider different kinds of assessment, and how these might work for (or against) different kinds of students
· explore some good practice examples, and have the opportunity to share their own examples from their own teaching (a Padlet is provided as a takeaway from the session)
· Staff will have the opportunity to ‘create their own adventure’ by focusing on a challenge most pertinent to them
Who would benefit from this workshop
Academic staff, or other staff who teach or support students.
