Structures for Success: Designing Effective Rubrics\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Date & Time: Wednesday, September 30, 10:00-11:30am<\/p>\n

Location: Orange Campus, Argyros Forum, 201<\/p>\n

Session Description:<\/p>\n

We know that timely and specific feedback promotes student growth, but how can we realistically provide such feedback to the many students we teach? Grading rubrics, when well designed, can simultaneously support student growth and reduce your time devoted to grading. But what makes a rubric useful for both the instructor and student? In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore and apply principles of effective rubric design to improve an existing rubric or create a new rubric for an existing assignment. Come prepared with an assignment that needs a grading rubric or an existing rubric that you would like to revise.<\/p>\n

Part-time instructors and GSIs are welcome to attend, but must receive prior approval<\/strong> from their dean and the office of the provost.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Teaching Table is a brown bag series focused on key elements of human learning.

Location: Memorial Hall, 212L (CETL Office)<\/p>\n

Session Description:<\/p>\n

Central to becoming an impactful educator is the ability to identify and articulate 1) what you believe about teaching, learning, and students, 2) how those beliefs shape your daily decisions, and 3) how your classroom practices and policies support student success.<\/p>\n

What do your \u201cgo-to\u201d classroom practices reveal about your beliefs and\/or assumptions regarding teaching, learning, and students?\u00a0 How do you feel about the results?<\/p>\n

Can you identify specific classroom practices and policies that align with your philosophy? Do you employ any practices or policies that run counter to your philosophy? If so, why are they used – and are there ways you might achieve better alignment and improve your teaching?<\/p>\n

Join us for dynamic conversations with colleagues from across the university as we name the philosophies that drive our teaching, assess the coherence between what we believe and what we do, and identify ways to improve teaching and learning in our classrooms.<\/p>\n

Through guided reflection, discussion, and brief writing activities, attendees will:<\/p>\n
