Featured Event
Understanding and Doing Antiracist Classroom Assessment
April 27, 12:30-2:00pm
This workshop considers what antiracist assessment can be in university courses and how faculty from across disciplines from Humanities to STEM courses can meaningfully engage in it. Led by Asao B. Inoue, Professor of Rhetoric & Composition at Arizona State University, he argues that classroom assessment, from grading to feedback on literacy performances, is an ecology made up of seven interconnected elements. Understanding any classroom as an assessment ecology can provide a way to design and enact antiracist assessment practices in courses. Furthermore, Inoue details twelve habits of antiracist teachers that are necessary in more fully developing antiracist pedagogies and assessments. There will be a Q&A period and a handout of resources.
Active Learning Institute
Looking for ways to increase student engagement in your face-to-face or online classroom? In this four-day immersive online experience (June 21-24), explore the purposes and benefits of active learning and learn how to apply these research-based practices by developing your own active and learner-centered (face-to-face or online) course units. Applications received by Monday, May 16, 2022, will be given priority.
Featured Resources
Anti-Racist Pedagogy in Action: First Steps: Five actions for developing an anti-racist pedagogical practice; these actions illustrate themes distilled from the literature on anti-racist pedagogy. Each action is accompanied by individual reflection questions, additional resources, and further reading.
Assessing Equitably with All Learners in Mind: Through a process of reflection on our assessment approaches, we can recognize and remove barriers to student success and work toward more equitable learning experiences for all students.
Getting Started with Active Learning: This resource introduces you to a holistic active learning framework as well as Columbia-supported instructional technologies that you can use to design both synchronous and asynchronous activities to engage your students in active learning.
