Empowering Students is a short workshop I give through MCC’s Office of Professional Development. The workshop focuses on using rubrics and flipping to give students agency and to allow transparency in the classroom. Faculty attending the workshop will complete a practice rubric for one of their classroom assignments, and they will have had a discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of a “flipped” classroom, and ideas they can use if they’re interested in trying out “flipping” with their own students.
