tEN Showcase - June 2023
Student-Centred Assessment and Feedback
This Showcase, hosted by the Educator Network, was held on 7th June 2023 at NUspace, Newcastle city precinct. This showcase provided staff with an opportunity to share their practice and learn about approaches to student-centred assessment and feedback from across the University. Participants were given an opportunity to participate in Q&A and discussions, hear from our students, as well as a chance to meet with new colleagues.
Topics covered included:
- Authentic and inclusive assessment
- Innovative assessment design, delivery and impact
- Scaffolding assessment and embedding feedback
- Developing student feedback literacy
Feedback received from attendees:
"I want to thank you for the invite to be a part of today and for having the vision for such events / ‘intel’ to bring some of us together who would otherwise never / rarely meet! Just in listening to my co-presenters, and seeing the program, I have much to contemplate."
"It was fantastic to hear from new and experienced teachers as well as the candid perspective of students. We rarely get the opportunity to hear from colleagues across Colleges with actionable ideas to inspire what we can do in the classroom. There are also opportunities to network and brainstorm and address the practicalities and challenges. This was genuinely one of the best learning experiences I've had in almost 25 years of teaching. I have small steps to take now, toward bigger steps in the future, to help me be more efficient and promote student engagement."
"I was happy to attend and present at the conference this afternoon. I made many new friends and amazing people. I learnt much from them."
