Asynchronous Webinar
Length: 2 hours
View Event Video (members only)

This asynchronous session introduces authentic assessment (AA) as a framework for creating inclusive, real-world learning experiences in STEM classrooms. Drawing on educational research and disciplinary examples, participants will explore what makes an assessment “authentic,” how to scaffold inclusive assessment design, and how to respond to common concerns, such as rigor, knowledge retention, and additional grading responsibilities. Attendees will engage with the video, templates, and real authentic examples from across science disciplines.

Speakers:
Aradaryn Marsh, Ph.D. Candidate in Engineering and Science Education
Clemson University

Deena Warid, Undergraduate Student in Biochemistry and Genetics
