Description

Research says that engaging students in group work has the potential, if done effectively, for helping students think more critically about concepts and become better problem solvers. How do we know if that happens? And how do we both promote and evaluate effective group function? In this session we’ll share strategies for assessing students’ work in groups as well as ideas for ways to assess students’ actual learning in the process. Participants will receive a reading assignment to use as a starting point for discussion. Lunch will be provided.


√ Program counts toward the ALIT Certificate.
