Centering Teacher and Student Voice in Classroom Assessment Design: Possibilities and Tensions Between Research and Reality
Fri, April 25, 1:30 to 3:00pm MDT (1:30 to 3:00pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 107Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Classroom assessment (CA) can be a powerful site for students to receive feedback and for teachers to modify their instructional decisions. Unfortunately, people who are most impacted by the use and implications of CA (students and teachers) often continue to have the least say and power in the system. What is more, current CA development practices do not often capture the diverse identities and linguistic and cultural practices of students. This set of six papers from researchers across the country adopt critical and sociocultural frameworks to explore ways to position students’ and teachers’ linguistically and culturally heterogeneous perspectives during the CA design process. Papers employ a variety of empirical and methodological techniques across K-12 contexts.
