Description

Discover the power of learning bentos and give students a new way to demonstrate their learning! Inspired by Japanese bento box meals, this approach invites students to curate and arrange images that represent their understanding of novels, historical events, scientific concepts, and other topics from any content area. We’ll explore the pedagogical foundations of choice-based assessment, learn to design effective learning bento assignments, and create rubrics that honor both creativity and academic rigor. Through hands-on practice, you'll build your own assessment using copyright-friendly image resources and explore digital implementation options. Leave with ready-to-implement materials that give students meaningful choice in showing what they know.
