Workshop: Reconsidering Rubrics and Writing Expectations in Inclusive Writing Assignments
This interactive workshop gives participants hands-on experience with considering alternatives to their own rubrics and writing assignment expectations that are typically handed out to students. Participants will consider dimension-based rubrics as a way to open up more critical dialogues with students about how their writing is judged, as well as help students find productive ways to revise writing. Participants will revise their own writing rubrics and/or assignment sheets for a chosen course writing assignment. The workshop will provide: a handout with other electronic resources for teachers who wish to explore this practice in their own classrooms. To take fullest advantage of this workshop, participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or Internet-connected device.
