Antiracist writing assessment ecologies : teaching and assessing writing for a socially just future
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-NC-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

Theorizes classroom writing assessment as a complex system that is "more than" its interconnected elements. To explain how and why antiracist work in the writing classroom is vital to literacy learning, Inoue incorporates ideas about the white racial habitus that informs dominant discourses in the academy and other contexts. Inoue helps teachers understand the unintended racism that often occurs when teachers do not have explicit antiracist agendas in their assessments. Drawing on his own teaching and classroom inquiry, Inoue offers a heuristic for developing and critiquing writing assessment ecologies that explores seven elements of any writing assessment ecology: power, parts, purposes, people, processes, products, and places.

Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This Code is a tool for educators, librarians, and authors to evaluate common professional scenarios in which fair use can enable them to incorporate inserts, including those protected by copyright, to create OER. It can provide groups working on OER projects with a shared framework for evaluating and understanding when and how to incorporate existing content to meet pedagogical needs.

While we have released this code under an open license for the widest possible reuse, please be aware that the principles are carefully crafted to be read together and reflect the series of workshops and interviews that informed the Code. Please make clear when you are using only an excerpt, and carefully note if you are making
any changes or alternations not in the original code. Over time, there will be additional supplementary materials and updates to this code available at auw.cl/OER.

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource was created at the University of Maryland (UMD) for instructors who want to develop open educational textbook resources. You may use this template and modify the text and format to fit your open educational resources (OER) needs, whether that is a complete textbook or a single chapter of information. The purpose of this resource is to provide a flexible and free resource for instructors that can promote and facilitate the creation and use of open educational resources.

We teach open science and have used this template to create an OER introduction to statistics textbook (Numbers don't lie (but people do), https://sites.google.com/umd.edu/statisticsinsocialsciences/home), an OER R textbook (Learning R the EZ way, https://sites.google.com/umd.edu/ezlearning-r/home), and an undergraduate research dissemination textbook (Addressing Grand Challenges through open science research, https://sites.google.com/umd.edu/umd-open-science-research/home?authuser=0). We hope others will find this resource useful as well.
