Assessing Innovative Pedagogies for Diverse Learners

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

As faculty implement innovative pedagogies to support increasingly diverse classrooms, they must simultaneously develop rigorous methods for determining their effectiveness on diverse learners. Papers on this panel not only introduce innovative strategies for supporting diverse learners, including “adaptive learning (AL) courseware,” but they also provide guidance to faculty on alternative methods for assessing the impacts of pedagogical interventions on different student demographics.
