Ten for Teaching: Developing learning activities in support of summative assessments HYBRID

If we want students to be able to confidently show their higher-level thinking on end-of-unit or end-of-semester assessments, it’s important to give them the right support along the way. In this workshop, we’ll start by exploring what scaffolded learning looks like and how it helps students grow. You’ll then take a look at one of your own summative assessments and consider where students might benefit from some extra guidance. Together, we’ll break down the skills students need to succeed and brainstorm class activities that can help them build those skills step by step.
By the end of the workshop, you should be able to:
-- Describe the process of scaffolding summative assessments
-- Explain the benefits of scaffolding learning
-- Identify the scaffolding steps for a summative assessment in your course
-- Choose learning activities that align with the scaffolding steps
