Assessing Your Assessments in the Age of AI
Dates Offered: June 15 - June 19
Course Description
This course is designed to help Academic Leaders lead on-campus conversations that interrogate current assessment practices and guide faculty in responding to the moment, recognizing that Generative AI is disrupting assessment practices. Our guiding question: are assessments accurately measuring student capabilities aligned with articulated values and course priorities? We will examine the most common summative assessment tools and challenge participants to think about what teachers learn (or what they think they learn) from these.
Participants will leave with a practical framework, sample prompts, and a plan for leading conversations that result in shared commitments to refine assessment in their own school context.
Course Objective
Identify how to find misalignments between current assessment practices and stated curricular or pedagogical priorities, including those surfaced by the use of Generative AI.
Use Generative AI as a thought partner to review assessment tasks, identify potential vulnerabilities, and generate questions that deepen faculty discussion.
Prepare to guide faculty toward a defined next step (e.g., piloting a revised assessment, refining a rubric, or rethinking a task) appropriate to their school’s context.
