-START TRANSCRIPT–
We will start off kind of going through each of kind of the things that each of us are doing, and then we’ll open this up for discussion. And we’re go hoping to run this as much as a reverse panel or a town hall as we are, running it as a panel. So we’ll talk a little bit about some of the things that we’re doing, and then we would very much like to hear from you in response to these discussion questions.
You we’re not going to expect you to read them all here. That’s why we have them printed there for your table. Please read them. Please think about them. Chew on them while we’re while we’re presenting, and then we we’ll open it up to large group discussion. But ultimately, all of those questions come down to this one question that we presume that all of our students either explicitly or implicitly are asking each of us when we set an assessment task and particularly an authentic assessment task.
So we will be kind of walking through this learner lifespan.
I want to offer sincere thanks to Melissa for hearing the three of us talk and say it sounds like you’re talking about the learner lifespan. So we’re going to start off by thinking about the ways that Sonja’s work with senior inquiry at at Portland State is working through the formation of academic identity within high school seniors, then Oscar’s work, with first year students at Portland State, and then I’m working with graduate and professional students.
