There are three roles for training that will be available to faculty through the implementation process:
1. THE ROLE OF EVALUATOR
The first training session will focus on your role as an EVALUATOR of students’ work. You will learn how to review (i.e. make written comments on student’s work) and assess (i.e. grade and score students’ work). Faculty who teach the classes in which we have key assessments will need to know how to evaluate students’ work. Many faculty, lecturers, and adjuncts will need this training.
