Using Feedback to Support Learning in Culinary Education

Catalog description

This course explores how assessment and resulting data are used to guide and inform instruction in the culinary classroom/kitchen. A major theme of the course is formative assessment as a tool to effectively monitor, respond to, and advance student learning. Participants examine how students think and develop skills in the culinary setting and design lessons that strategically use the formative assessment process to assess learning and guide instruction for whole class, small group and individual learners. In addition, participants explore and apply strategies that allow their students to use feedback to improve learning. Emphasis is given to the use of rubrics, grading practices and the effective use of technology strategies to assist in the process of formative assessment.
