Is it Working? How to Evaluate Your Teaching after Trying Something NewMichelle Herridge (Academy for Teaching and Learning; Chemistry)
Often, we are encouraged to incorporate new evidence based instructional practices (EBIPs) and try new things in our classrooms. Sometimes we get immediate feedback that it worked (or didn't!), but other times we have only limited impressions or intuitions about how it impacted students' learning or engagement. This session will present some of the assessment strategies you can use to determine whether it's worth your time, showcase some tools that can help manage assessment, and highlight some recent articles on the impacts of EBIPs and active learning.
