Join Dr. Tiffany Tovey and Dr. David Esminger in an engaging webinar where we delve into the art of transforming your evaluation practice stories into impactful instructional cases.
Date: July 18, 2023 Time: 12 pm to 1 pm ET Format: Online via Zoom Cost: Free for CES members and non-members Language: English
As evaluators, we possess a wealth of professional experiences that can serve as a valuable source of knowledge and reflection for our future endeavors (Tovey & Greene, 2021). These practice stories can serve as excellent instructional cases if written down. However, like with teaching, it is more than just writing down your experiences for others to read. Creating a teaching case involves a backward design process, starting with the author selecting the intended learning objective to develop the appropriate case type. Afterward, we must determine the content knowledge and competencies to represent in the case, the appropriate contextual elements to include or exclude, and develop the supporting instructional resources (Ensminger, et. al., 2021).
In this webinar, we will look at techniques and strategies that will empower you to create impactful cases based on your evaluation practice. We invite you to bring your own practice-oriented stories to share.
