Event Overview
How does quality teaching impact student learning? Around the world, institutions of higher education are engaging in constructive dialogue about meaningful assessments that demonstrate how much and how well students are learning. Rubrics are assessment tools that benefit both faculty and students. They [rubrics] provide a framework for evaluation and assessment of teaching and learning. The carefully designed rubric helps the institution to evaluate student learning outcomes, accreditation, and consistency across programs.

The model for this workshop is two-fold:
 1. We will have a structured conversation about rubrics and methods for developing them, and how they are being used to assess student learning, teaching, course design, etc.
 2. In the workshop, we will go through the process of designing rubrics for assessment and learning. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of assignments, rubrics, or assessments they are familiar with to the workshop.

Session Outcomes:
 - Consider how carefully designed rubrics can promote student learning and success.
 - Identify areas for improvement in course design and teaching.
 - Apply an outcomes-driven process to develop rubrics for different types of assessments.
