Student Ownership (Two Parts)
Corboy Law Center, Room 208
Zoom Link
Applying Transformational Leadership in the Classroom: Beginning in the 1970's a new type of US business management practice emerged, known as Transformational Leadership. This presentation will begin by defining this leadership model followed by some of the ways in which I successfully applied it in my own courses. Despite some potential drawbacks to this leadership style, I will endeavor to show that overall it can help lead to positive learning outcomes.
Peer Grading: Traditional grading models for writing courses privilege instructor assessment. But are these "gatekeeping" models the most accurate and productive way to improve outcomes for student writers and foster cura personalis? This session will discuss a means of using peer grading and recursive feedback loops to empower students to take ownership over learning outcomes in writing-intensive courses.
