Examining Student Work

Examining Student Work is a process in which educators meet in collaborative teams to critically review student work and reflect upon the quality of student assignments, as well as the effectiveness of teaching practices. This service includes a training session in the principles of the process, exposure to a variety of protocols that can be utilized within collaborative team meetings, and on-site support through facilitated group meetings.
