Assessment in SENCERized Courses: Strategies, Resources, and Call-for-Actions

Abstract

The presenter explains the needs and advocates the use of multiple assessment products to address common SENCER outcomes including research/analysis reports, authentic products, and student reflections. The presenter will suggest appropriate assessment tasks, sources of evaluation rubrics, and assessment resources for assessing each of the three common SENCER outcome domains: science knowledge and practice skills, civic literacy and dispositions, and science communication. The SENCER community are encouraged to engage in the development of SENCER signature assignments and SENCERized rubrics.
