Writing learning outcomes

Select language that aligns with your expectations for student learning. While not the end-all, be-all, the Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Process Dimensions (revised) provides a good framework from which to get curious about the language you use to describe your expectations for student behaviors, performances, and / or habits of mind. We think it's such a valuable resource that we made a poster of verbs associated with Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Process Dimensions for you! 

Checklists, scoring guides, and rubrics (oh, my!)

A well-crafted rubric promotes equity and the development of students' metacognitive awareness. Oh, and it also can speed up the grading process while generating valid and actionable learning outcomes assessment data. The same goes for intentionally-designed checklists and scoring guides. 

Choose the right tool for your task to ensure efficiency and equity.
