Reaching Group Consensus

Assessment

Assess issue briefs

• Assess students' ability to identify and explain core issues for their delegation using the rubric Assessing Knowledge of the Issue. Students can use this information to gauge their need to investigate the issue further.

Assess issue proposals

• Assess students' ability to develop proposals reflective of their assigned perspective, and to anticipate and plan for objections by using the rubric Assessing Issue Negotiating Plans.

Assess consensus building

• The tools found in Assessing Consensus can be used to explain how students might use the Assessing Consensus: Peer- and Self-assessment to assess their own and other group members' contributions to the summit process.

Assess students’ peer- and self-assessments

• Use the rubric Assessing Consensus: Assessing Student Assessments to evaluate students’ self- and peer-assessments.
