Who should be working harder during class? The teacher or the students? In the "Age of the Empowered Learner" we can equip our students to take responsibility to manage a large proportion of their learning. We can also empower our students to create content that contributes to the learning of their peers. Research indicates that one of the most powerful strategies to improve learning is to provide students with self-assessment strategies. This workshop will provide step-by-step strategies that creates a culture of the empowered self-directed and collaborative learner.
