• In Event: Poster Session 17
  In Poster Session: Classroom Assessment: Current and Future Directions

Abstract

We present here an early phase work on identifying innovative assessment practices and introducing them to preservice teachers. We first describe the domain analysis method that led to interviews with ambitious teachers examining their current practices around rubrics. Next we present the common themes that show how teachers can go beyond traditional rubrics to support learner autonomy and ownership of the learning process. Finally, we discuss how these results can have an impact on teacher education by directly informing the design of playful learning experiences such as our MetaRubric activity.
