Michael Beirne: Empowering learners by generating criteria for assessing “good writing”
Michael demonstrated a framework for training ourselves (and students) to read critically in a way that generates criteria / heuristics for “good writing” which can then be used to assess and evaluate our own writing, thus empowering learners (teachers and students) with the ability to measure the progress and improvement in their communication skills in the absence of outside feedback.
There were two elements to Michael's session: the power point presentation and the Cafe review.
