Rethinking Writing: Rethinking Assessment

How do we assess student writing in a changing educational landscape? As writing, teaching, and learning continue to evolve, so too must our approaches to assessment. This workshop will explore current conversations and emerging practices in writing assessment, with particular attention to the challenges and possibilities introduced by generative AI. Together, we will reconsider what we value in student writing, how we measure learning, and how our assessment practices can better support student growth, critical thinking and meaningful engagement with the writing process. Participants will leave with practical ideas for rethinking assessment in their own courses. For any questions, please contact Jamie Crosswhite at [email protected].
