Ep 49 - Going beyond grades: evaluative thinking in formative assessment (Part 1)

Dr Lis Conde, Learning Designer | Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership In this video (part 1 of 2), Dr Lis Conde from the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership draws on her experience as a learning designer and research background in pedagogical beliefs, to explore how educators can develop professionally and meaningfully improve student learning outcomes. Lis advocates for evaluative thinking to build competencies for educator self assessment that informs student assessment, and identifies the cues in the teaching and learning environment that educators should consider in the design of assessment. Covering problem-based and project-based learning, she also advocates for a curriculum that is responsive to the world we live in today and anticipates future skill sets, so that students are equipped to tackle global challenges. How can educators advance meaningful, authentic learning and assessment while offering sufficient structure to support student progress? Watch the episode to hear Lis’ advice.
