New GOA Professional Learning Courses

Please see below for information on two new GOA asynchronous courses focused on rethinking rubrics and discussions. You are able to sign up for these directly via the links below or see Kasson for assistance. The best part is that they are free to us as a GOA member school!

GOA is excited to share  two new opportunities to connect and learn alongside educators from GOA’s global network.
​​​​​​
Redesign Rubrics (October 3-4 and October 31 – November 1) – This is a two-day, asynchronous course with highly curated resources, examples, and action steps for redesigning how you create and use rubrics. You’ll leave with a student-centered plan for designing and using rubrics to empower students to understand learning criteria, to reflect, to give and receive feedback, and to self-assess. Free for GOA members.

Redesign Discussions (October 17-18 and November 14-15) – This is a two-day, asynchronous course with highly curated resources, examples, and action steps for redesigning how you create and facilitate discussions. You’ll leave with a student-centered protocol for your next discussion that empowers students to join, lead, engage, and reflect. Free for GOA members.
