Showcasing Unicorn Assessment: Demonstrations of Creativity, Inclusion, and Decolonization in Assessment and Evaluation

Unicorn assessment is an innovative and decolonized approach that any educator, in any course, can use. This presentation will inspire attendees to reconsider the lifecycle and outcomes of traditional assessments in their toolkits by showcasing products of unicorn assessment used for evaluation of learning outcomes in a course in TRU’s Bachelor of Education Program. In this assessment practice, students are guided in reflecting on their learning in relation to course learning outcomes, and supported in creating an assessment process and product that represents that learning. Each assessment product is a unique and magical representation of student learning – a unicorn!
