What if how we learn is filtered through our culture?  In this episode, we kick off a new series inspired by the book Culturally Responsive Assessment in Classrooms and Large-Scale Contexts. We explore why it's crucial to think about the role of culture in assessment design and take a look back at the origins of culturally relevant pedagogy, given the interdependence between curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment. Join us as we start a conversation about making assessments more fair and accurate for all students.Research & resources from the episode:Culturally Responsive Assessment in Classrooms and Large-Scale ContextsCenter for Assessment’s blog on the bookEdutopia: Assessment as a three-legged stoolPsychometrician Gregory Cizek’s explanation of validityCulturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain by Dr. Zaretta Hammond WCPSS staff can earn credit for listening to and reflecting on completed series.
