Assessing learners is an on-going process. Differentiated assessments focus on gathering data before, during and after instruction to identify learners’ needs and strengths. In this workshop, we will discuss the benefits of giving students choices and explore assessment strategies and tools since....one tool doesn't fit all.

Hendrik Meurkens, a virtuoso on both the chromatic harmonica and the vibraphone, is the most important jazz harmonica player since Toots Thielemans. Germanborn but now based in New York, Meurkens’ recordings and performances garner worldwide acclaim because the transcendent beauty of his music has universal appeal. A two-mallet player in the tradition of Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson, Hendrik Meurkens was en-route to being an instantly recognizable vibraphonist when he heard Toots Thielemans.
Inspired by the sound of Thielemans’ harmonica, he taught himself the difficult-to-master instrument. Hendrik Meurkens’ other life changing musical experience was his introduction to samba and bossa nova. He was so moved by Brazilian music that after perfecting his unique musical voice at Berklee, as a vibraphone major, he moved to Rio in the early 80s to totally immerse himself in music and culture of Brazil.

As mandated by the fire code the Department of Public Safety will be conducting fire evacuation drills in the month of October 2012.
When the evacuation alarm sounds all occupants in the impacted building or fire alarm zone are expected to evacuate the space and assemble outside the building. When the “all clear” is provided by the drill manager, occupants will be advised to re-enter the building/zone and return to studies/work.
Emergency Response Team members will be wearing their high visibility orange vests.
We thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Should you have any questions, please contact Mary Ann Gregoris.
Tired of marking that assignment you have given for two semesters in a row? Discouraged by the lack of time and energy your students are
putting into their work? Sometimes all you need is a new approach and some colleagues to help inspire you.
In this workshop we rethink our approach to evaluation in hands on fashion. Starting from the premise that testing does not necessarily mean tests and that assignments should extend knowledge not just involve its repetition, we consider how to design and develop engaging evaluation procedures. Bring an assignment you would like to revamp to this session, as we workshop new ways of approaching evaluation.
