Details for Cultivating Long-Lasting Learning through Authentic Assessment Do you want to incorporate authentic assessment into your course to maximize learning outcomes that contribute to the strengthening of your students’ skills? Are you ready to inspire long-lasting learning in your students beyond your course? Authentic assessment incorporates tasks that evaluate students’ application of knowledge beyond the classroom. Differing from traditional tests, these assessments encourage learners’ creativity for novel problem solving and “real-world” solutions. Join us to learn about authentic assessment that works for your specific needs. In this workshop we will provide evidence-based solutions for assessment that increase students’ success in the classroom and beyond.Register Now for Cultivating Long-Lasting Learning through Authentic Assessment | ||||||
