Assessment is the key to determining if students are learning, the key to funding, and the key to determining if we're doing our jobs well. The problem comes when we don't provide opportunties for students to demonstrate their knowledge. A lot of the more traditional methods of assessment limit students in their demonstration, particularly when looking at cultural responsiveness. This session will explore the importance of alternative forms of assessment in cultural responsiveness, types of alternative assessments, and even provide an opportunity for participants to create an alternative assessment aligned with course objectives.
