| Description: |
When it comes to helping students feel a sense of belonging in the classroom, we may think about how to create a more positive classroom climate. Yet, what if there’s something we do with our classroom materials that can both help students feel welcome and make them more likely to succeed? Dr. Mary-Ann Winkelmes asked this question in developing what has become known as the Transparency Framework for assignment design. Her work suggests that students who encounter transparently-designed assignments not only perform better on them but also report feeling more welcome in class and on campus. In this session, we’ll look briefly at the research around transparent assignments, but we’ll also consider how to implement this framework into our own assignments utilizing a template and rubrics to evaluate how clear we can be with students in addressing the what, how, and why of our course assignments. |
