Introduction

Week 13 begins the educational psychology module of the course with an introduction to assessment, evaluation, peer assessment, and the Ontario curriculum's Growing Success document. General strategies for providing others with constructive feedback are reviewed. To practice giving constructive feedback, students post their New School Proposal assignments to the online forums. They then provide one another with constructive feedback on their respective proposals for a new school.

Foundational Focus: Assessment and Evaluation
