Design Elements for Antiracist Performance Tasks
November 2023
Description
The "Design Elements for Antiracist Performance Tasks" report outlines strategies for developing equitable assessment experiences that challenge systemic biases. The report highlights four key design elements: incorporating students' lived experiences, positioning students as knowledge builders, counteracting racialized narratives, and examining systemic inequities.
Examples include tasks where students interview family members about cultural proverbs, analyze Supreme Court decisions on environmental justice, and design solutions for urban heat islands affecting communities of color. These tasks align with academic standards while promoting social justice, student empowerment, and engagement in real-world problem-solving and advocacy. The full report and additional resources are available to support the creation of antiracist educational environments.
