Reimagining Assessment Practicum (RAP)
The Reimagining Assessment Practicum is a three-week online program designed for participants to learn more about and reflect on their assessment and grading practices, with an emphasis on equitable approaches and alternative methods.
Overview

- Curious about strategies that enable students to maximize learning and growth?
- How can we make grading a more meaningful interaction with our students?
- Are we assessing what we think we're assessing?
Join colleagues in this three-week online program designed for instructors of all levels, backgrounds, and teaching contexts to learn more about and reflect on your assessment and grading practices, with an emphasis on equitable approaches and alternative methods.
As the fourth online practicum in the series since 2020, the format continues with weaving together interactive synchronous sessions, asynchronous learning activities, individual consultations, and opportunities to learn with and from peers in order to create more inclusive learning and teaching environments.
This practicum will draw on expertise and experience from around the University and is a collaboration of faculty and staff from AccessibleNU, the Cook Family Writing Program, Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications, the Office of the Provost, the School of Professional Studies Distance Learning, the Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching, Teaching and Learning Technologies, University Libraries, and Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.
