Learning, Teaching and Assessment Forum

On October 8, 2013, the Office of the Provost will host the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Forum: “Critical Reflections on Learning” at the Norris University Center from 8:30-2:30. This university-wide event is designed to:

  • Provide faculty, graduate instructors, and administrators the opportunity to share and/or showcase their assessment initiatives at the class, department/program, school, and/or university levels
  • Share and highlight teaching & assessment innovations, strategies, practices, and outcomes
  • Demonstrate the University’s assessment framework in practice
  • Promote dialogue about assessment, its purpose and value for improving learning & teaching

Presenters will share initiatives in a range of areas, including at the course level such things as the assessment of critical thinking, assessing team-based learning, and assessment in a laboratory context.  Other presenters will share new and ongoing initiatives occurring at the department and school levels.

Join us, and discover the innovative and creative assessments in which your colleagues from across the university have engaged.

If you have any questions, please contact Susanna Calkins, Associate Director of the Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching (s-calkins@northwestern.edu).  We hope you will join us for our first Learning, Teaching, and Assessment Forum.
