Assessment for learning to support well-being: Listen in!

To spark much-needed discussions around assessment for learning and its potential to foster healthier learning environments for both students and instructors, we invite you to listen to the Teach.Learn.Share podcast on assessment and well-being where members of the McGill community offer their perspectives on a range of topics.

After you listen, consider these questions intended to help you bring healthy learning environments to the fore in your courses:

  1. When it comes to assessment criteria, how do you know if you and your students have a shared understanding of the expectations?
  2. What strategies do you use to help students focus on learning rather than on grades alone?

McGill University is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
