Join our call for sharing your educational assessment practices! The Directorate of Design and Evaluation in the Educational Model, in collaboration with the Center for Teaching Development and Educational Innovation (CEDDIE), cordially invites you to participate.  Our aim is to identify and recognize the best assessment practices that enrich the Tec Educational Model.

 If you are a faculty member at Tecnológico de Monterrey and have taught training units in this model, we want to hear from you!  What do you need to do? Simply send us your assessment practice before June 30, 2024. If your practice is selected, you will have the opportunity to share it on internal platforms of the Institution and possibly in a compilation of best practices with external reach.  For more details on how to participate and the evaluation criteria, please see the requirements and guidelines below:  

• Both full-time and adjunct faculty members are eligible to participate. 
• Practices can be individual or collaborative. 
• Practices aligned with the competency-based approach of the Tec Educational Model will be particularly valued. 
• An academic committee will evaluate practices based on criteria such as authenticity, relevance of evidence, and sufficiency of information for assessing competencies.

We look forward to receiving your contribution and recognizing your work with a CEDDIE badge!

We are about to close the period, and it is crucial that you prepare adequately. For this reason, we provide you with a checklist to avoid any inconvenience in the process: 

1. Verify evidence assessment: Ensure that all evidence is assessed correctly.

2. Review your assessment plan: Make sure your assessment plan has a final column and includes all activities contributing to your students' grades. Remember that activities should be published and configured with a weight of 100 and in points.

3. Identify the grade submission button: If you can't find the grade submission button in the menu, follow these steps: 

Menu > Settings > Navigation > Identify the grade submission button > Click on the three dots > Enable > Click on the save button.

4. Verify grade consistency: Check that the grades in the final column of the grading section match the grades in the grade submission section. If not, do not proceed with the submission and review your assessment plan.

5. Consider grade rounding: Remember that in the grade submission section, grades are reflected rounded. For example, if John Doe has a grade of 86.5, it will be shown as 87; if the grade is 86.4, it will show as 86 for the final grade.

6. Submit grades: Once you are sure the final grades match in the grade submission section, click on the blue button labeled "submit."

7. Download the confirmation PDF: Do not forget to download the PDF file, as it will serve as proof of what was submitted to the school department. 

Following these steps ensures a period closure without complications and an accurate and efficient grade submission. Your collaboration in this process is fundamental to ensure transparency and accuracy in the assessment of your students.
