Classroom Assessment Techniques
Could you use a teaching tool that will help you get reliable and instant feedback about students’ learning?
The Learning Evidence Team and Department of Human Resources are pleased to offer three workshops this Spring designed to demonstrate the use of classroom assessment techniques.
Classroom Assessment Techniques, (CATs), are fast, customizable, and easy to use. In addition, clicker technology and Rypple, a web-based tool for getting anonymous feedback that you can use to perfect your teaching, are other simple ways to discover what and how students are learning and they also help to promote interaction with students.
Each of these workshops is designed to demonstrate how to use sample CATs, clicker technology, and Rypple. Participants will then have an opportunity to experiment with one or more of the assessment techniques during the intervening time period and to share experiences about how the technique worked for them at the beginning of the next workshop.
By the end of the series, participants will be able to:
- describe various Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs)
- explain and give examples of the uses of clicker technology
- discuss the purpose and operation of Rypple and its application to the classroom
- articulate the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of classroom assessment technique due to having sampled several assessment techniques in their own classroom
