Intro to Revelatory Assessment: Assessment as Revelation, Not Destination
Dream with us about how to rethink everything you have been told about assessment.
Assessment in American education has long been a tool of tracking and sorting young people, weaponized by systems and by individuals in order to uphold existing power structures and dominant culture norms. Revelatory Assessment is a framework designed to fundamentally rethink the purpose and lived experience of assessment for all those involved. Rather than serving as a set of disconnected tasks required by an external force, assessment as revelation sets the learner at the center of an ongoing process of wonder and discovery. Revelatory Assessment offers an opportunity for students and facilitators of learning to walk alongside each other, connected in the purpose of the journey, not the outcome or end point. Student and facilitator are partnered, fully aware of the experiential process, impact, and growth that propels them forward as learners together. Session participants will reflect on their own lived experience of revelation as well as of assessment.
Wondering what this is all about? This workshop is an introductory exploration of Revelatory Assessment framework, By the end of the session, we will have:
- explored the Revelatory Framework and its 5 essential components
- witnessed examples of the 5 essential components brought to life through student work and performance
