SUMMARY:Decolonizing Assessment
DESCRIPTION:This session is part of the Decolonization Workshop Series.\nThis four-part series invites faculty members\, instructors\, and teaching assistants to reflect on what it means to take a decolonial approach to teaching and learning. Drawing on Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang’s reminder that “decolonization is not a metaphor\,” the series distinguishes decolonization from Indigenization and inclusion\, and explores how colonial legacies continue to shape higher education. Together\, we will consider how to reimagine virtual and in-person classroom participation\, assessment practices\, and our broader academic contexts in ways that are more just\, relational\, and responsive.\nWednesday\, December 10\n2–3 p.m.\nOnline\nLink to register for the series sessions (opens in new window)\nGrades\, rubrics\, and tests often reflect Euro-Western notions of success. This workshop introduces alternative\, relational\, and culturally responsive approaches to evaluating learning\, helping faculty critically examine whose knowledge is valued and how assessment can reinforce or challenge inequities.\nThrough attending this session\, participants will learn to:\n\nRecognize how traditional assessment methods reflect colonial and cultural assumptions.\nExplore relational\, inclusive\, and culturally responsive assessment strategies.\nDesign evaluation practices that honor diverse ways of knowing and learning\, while supporting student growth and success.\n\nThis session builds on concepts from the previous workshops but can be attended independently by anyone interested in transforming assessment practices.\nFacilitator\nRachelle McKay\, Educational Developer\, Indigenous Knowledges & Ways of Knowing\n\nAdditional Information: Additional sessions in the four-part Decolonization Workshop Series.  \nDecolonization in the Post-Secondary Context\nWednesday\, October 8\nDecolonizing Classroom Participation\nTuesday\, November 4\nDecolonizing the Syllabus\nTuesday\, November 25\nDecolonizing Assessment\nWednesday\, December 10
