ASCN Change Leaders Working Group 3 Informal Open Discussions
(Short Course) Collaboration for Change: Engaging stakeholders and working together on common goals
March 4, 2021 | 11am PT / 12pm MT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET
Presenter: Stephanie Chasteen (Chasteen Educational Consulting)
Education reform requires many partners from across the educational system to work together towards common goals. Change doesn't readily occur (or stick) when led by lone champions without broader support. Collaboration and engagement across multiple stakeholders have thus been the topic of multiple ASCN webinars.

Supporting Faculty in Developing Equitable Assessments
January 19, 2021 | 9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET
Presenters: Carie Cardamone (Assoc. Director Tufts University Center for the Enhancement of Learning & Teaching) & Heather Dwyer (Asst. Director Tufts University Center for the Enhancement of Learning & Teaching)
Assessments may be only part of a course, but they can play a critical role in fostering or hindering student learning. Assessments that seemingly provide equal opportunity to demonstrate student learning can actually unintentionally send messages that a student does not belong in a given course. In this informal discussion, we will explore characteristics of equitable assessments and reflect on our own implicit assumptions about grading and assessment.
