When teaching, it’s essential to conduct formative assessments in order to gain an accurate sense of students’ progress towards the learning goals and adjust instruction accordingly.

In this two-part workshop series, we will examine how you can use evidence-based Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) in your teaching. Session 1 will focus on CATs for accessing students’ prior knowledge and beliefs about course content. Session 2 will focus on CATs for checking students’ understanding. In both sessions, we will explore a variety of low-tech and no-tech strategies you can use to assess student learning.

NOTE: These are virtual workshops that will be held via Zoom. Please bring a physical or digital copy of your course syllabus to each session.

Participants who submit sufficient evidence of implementing two CATs in their teaching (one from Session 1 and one from Session 2) will earn a certificate of completion. (Note: Submitting evidence of only one CAT or two CATs from the same session will not result in a certificate.) Sessions will be recorded so that participants who are unable to attend live can still participate. Additional details about the certificate requirements will be provided during the sessions.
