Description
Crafting writing assessments is a process that requires teachers to ask questions and consider different choices. Teachers should understand what is being tested before developing the method of testing. This workshop will offer guidance to instructors interested in the design and administration of department-wide writing assessments. I will also describe how a university English department transitioned from non-standardized writing evaluations to a standardized writing assessment with unified learning objectives across multiple classrooms.
