Abstract
What are the issues surrounding assessment when we look at it through the lens of gender? This workshop will explore ways that girls and boys experience and process assessment tasks and procedures and how that knowledge might influence assessment design. It challenges educators to ensure that their students are part of the classroom dialogue about assessment and that students' voices are represented when decisions are made about assessment, recording and reporting. Notions of assessment literacy for teachers, especially as it relates to gendered experiences of assessment will be discussed in terms of a critique of current practices. Although assessment is no laughing matter, this workshop will encourage educators to think about ways that it can be a useful and enjoyable part of the learning process. Participants are encouraged to share their own experiences of assessment in an informal workshop setting.
