This webinar is focused on discussing the social work concept of meeting clients where they are and applying it to teaching: “meeting students where they are”. We can use formative and summative assessments (both qualitative and quantitative) to learn about student’s abilities and challenges. We will demonstrate with an example from Health Science and guest speakers from Sociology that we can use assessments to identify embedded assumptions about students’ knowledge. We need to ask ourselves “what are the sticking points” for students and revise courses or teaching methods to accommodate students’ educational needs.
