Attend your first webinar

Culturally Responsive Approaches to Activity and Assessment Design

facilitated by Lara; moderated by Laura

Every Seneca student is a unique individual who arrives in the classroom with strengths and challenges that have been shaped by their prior learning experiences and inform their academic goals and expectations of an Ontario post-secondary education. One way to honour the uniqueness of learners is to integrate culturally responsive approaches in our practice.

In this webinar, we will present some examples of culturally responsive activities and assessments that can help faculty connect meaningfully with students and encourage students to reflect on their lived experiences, opinions and academic goals. Examples include community-building techniques, multimodal activities and assessments, and collaborative projects that engage students with real-world challenges in the classroom and promote critical thinking.

“Is THIS on the Test”? A Dive into UDL and Authentic Assessment

facilitated by Sherri; moderated by Jamie

Have you ever been asked, “Is this on the test”? Sometimes students just want to do the test and move on, but have they really learned anything? Universal Design for Learning (UDL) challenges us to dive deeper into students' abilities to demonstrate competency beyond the test. Authentic Assessment and UDL make good partners! Come and explore how! 

Outcomes:

• Explain the 3 Principles of UDL

• Differentiate between formative and summative assessment

• Identify a formative assessment tool that incorporates Multiple Means of Action and Expression 

• Analyze a current summative assessment to determine how the principle of Multiple Means of Action and Expression can lead to a revision.
