In this Arts of Teaching sequel to “Cultivating Rigorous Creativity” (Fall 2014), participants will design and workshop a sample assessment that cultivates creative as well as critical thinking. In preparation for this workshop, all participants will read and annotate a text of their own choosing and then design a prompt, model, and rubric for an assignment on the chosen text. During the workshop, participants will examine the assignments to determine their effectiveness. Each participant will leave the workshop with a polished assessment that demands rigorous creative thinking. Led by Mark Maxwell, English and Fine Arts, Rolling Meadows High School. Mr. Maxwell is the author of the novel Nixoncarver (St. Martin's Press) and several short stories, and many of his students have gone on to publish their own creative writing. The Craft of Teaching (CoT) is the Divinity School's program of pedagogical development for its graduate students, dedicated to preparing a new generation of accomplished educators in the field of religious studies. We bring together Divinity School faculty, current students, and an extensive alumni network of decorated teachers to share our craft and to advance critical reflection on religious studies pedagogy ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGOytSubscribe About #UChicago: Since its founding in 1890, the University of Chicago has been a destination for rigorous inquiry and field-defining research.
