What's a Library to Do? Transforming the One-Shot Library Workshop for the Ne...Jerilyn Veldof
Cornell University Library invited me to do a workshop for them on <a href="http://www.tc.umn.edu/~jveldof/WorkshopDesign/">creating one-shot library workshops</a>. These are the remarks I made in another session for their Library Assembly prior to the workshop.
This document discusses teaching excellence from the perspectives of several educators at Newcastle University. Key points discussed include:
- Dr. Phil Ansell raises the question of what constitutes excellent teaching with small vs. large class sizes.
- Katie Wray provides an example of an innovative teaching approach using multidisciplinary teams.
- Jason Steggles discusses his approach to lecturing large classes and the challenges of marking and feedback.
- Various educators reflect on their experiences with the university's teaching excellence award process and criteria.
- The discussion considers how to define teaching excellence and whether innovation is required, or if fitting the context is most important. Student perspective is also acknowledged as important.

The document discusses the European Year of Creativity and Innovation (EYCI) which aims to:
1) Increase public awareness and interest in creativity and innovation.
2) Facilitate policy debate and identify good practices at all levels.
3) Build an evidence base for policymaking.
It highlights the importance of stakeholders in ensuring the EYCI addresses the right issues and opportunities, and that its objectives are endorsed in education policies. It also discusses definitions of creativity and innovation and some of the key drivers of the Year such as lifelong learning.
This document summarizes a webinar on evidence of learning and alternative credentials. The webinar featured a panel of experts who discussed defining evidence of learning, the value of ePortfolios, challenges with alignment across institutions, and a student transformative learning record program. The panel also discussed why capturing broader evidence of learning is important now, how it benefits institutions, students and employers, and considerations for implementation and outcomes assessment.
The document discusses how arts advocates can better frame their arguments to join education reform debates and shift school culture to promote creativity. It provides two case studies of international education programs, Learning Futures and Musical Futures, that focus on engaging pedagogy and fostering student interest to indirectly enable creativity. The document argues advocates should focus on student engagement over standardized test accountability and draw from creative learning outside of schools.
Assessment in the Curriculum Design Process Peter Gow
This is a (longish) PPT deck (in PDF form here) has been my evolving script for school workshops on what assessment is, how to do it, and how to think about it. The slides by themselves are not so long a read and serve as kind of an intro–to–intermediate-level text.
Peter Gow is an educator, author, and speaker who has spent over 38 years working in independent schools. His life's work is helping independent schools deliver the best possible educational experience based on their mission. He does this through writing, speaking at conferences, and advising schools on issues like curriculum, assessment, professional development, and school culture. In his free time, he enjoys writing, maritime life, technology, and finding ways to improve education.

A rubric is a tool used to assess student performance on assignments and provide feedback. It defines the expectations and objectives of the assignment and describes what constitutes high quality performance. Developing rubrics with students helps them understand what is expected of their work. Using rubrics provides specific feedback and makes grading more consistent and objective. It also helps students understand how to improve by focusing on the objectives. There are different types of rubrics such as numeric scales and qualitative descriptions. Regardless of the type, rubrics should clearly define the performance levels so students understand how their work will be evaluated.
This document discusses evaluation rubrics and provides guidance on how to create them. It defines a rubric as a set of criteria used to evaluate student work. It emphasizes that rubrics should clearly define performance levels and provide students with clear feedback. The document then provides examples of different rubric formats and discusses how to design rubrics, including identifying important evaluation categories and defining different performance levels for each category. It also provides tips on using rubrics to grade student work.
Progressive education began in the early 20th century as a reform movement aimed at moral and social transformation through child-centered educational approaches. It grew from the philosophies of thinkers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Major early proponents included John Dewey and Maria Montessori. In the 1930s, the Eight-Year Study found that progressive education was as effective at preparing students for college as traditional methods. While progressive education waned in popularity in the 1950s, many of its values and approaches saw a resurgence in the 1960s and continue to influence education today.
The document provides guidance on effective curriculum design. It defines key terms like generative topic, essential question, and assessment. It recommends designing curriculum backwards, starting with identifying the overall point and desired understandings, then determining acceptable evidence and assessments, and finally planning learning experiences and instructional tasks. It discusses assessing student learning and understanding rather than making evaluations. It also presents examples of essential questions and provides models for curriculum planning and unit design.
