Online – Evaluating Summative Tasks for Rigor and Authenticity
November 4 @ 7:30 am - 8:30 am CST
Learn how to evaluate summative tasks for true rigor and disciplinary alignment. Participants will analyze whether tasks genuinely require students to engage in disciplinary reasoning, use evidence from sources, and demonstrate authentic understanding. This session focuses on strengthening task quality and coherence.
