EDUC 5305G - Alternative and Inclusive Assessment

Assessment is a critical feature in pedagogy to support student learning. However, current assessment practices may overemphasize summative evaluation and exclude students. In this course, students will explore and critically assess a wide range of innovative, alternative and inclusive assessment approaches. Students will design assessment strategies framed by principles of social justice and inclusion. Students will also analyze their own lived experiences of assessment from the viewpoint of social justice and/or inclusion and apply this knowledge to assessment design in their professional contexts.
