Redesign- Creating an Effective Assessment
            There are several ethical components included in designing a meaningful and non-discriminatory presentation.  This design, created for a group of in-service teachers, has been created to accommodate all types of learners.  Elements of visual, verbal, interpersonal, and logical/mathematical elements are included in the design, to accommodate all possible learners.  In addition, a written copy of the design has been provided to all teachers to accommodate those that are hearing impaired.  The verbal description of the presentation accommodates all learners including those that are visually impaired.  
            For this redesign, specifically, cognitivism was the principle of design implemented. This theory, supported by claims that the learner should be actively involved in learning, where the learner is responsible for the outcome of the lesson based on their ability to process the information provided, helped to shape the re-design of this model (Dabbagh,N., 2014).  Specifically, Keller’s ARCS Model of Motivation was implemented in this redesign initially grabbing interest by asking learners to reflect on what assessments mean to them. This model accommodates learners and extenuates best teaching practices in many schools across the country. Furthermore, this attention grabber related the relevance to everyday life as a professional and as a student. Positive implications about the ability of the in service teachers were incorporated throughout the presentation, leaving learners the opportunity to embrace the learning.  Lastly, an open forum was provided at the end of the presentation for questions and clarity.  Contact information was provided if further questions arose.
