Description: In an era where technology is reshaping every facet of education, 'Hacking Assessment in the AI Age' explores how educators can make assessments more meaningful, inclusive, and resilient against misuse. This session will showcase innovative strategies to incorporate AI tools into balanced and culturally responsive assessment practices, with a focus on fostering academic integrity, reducing math anxiety, and amplifying student voice and choice. Participants will engage with practical examples of 'AI-proof' assessment methods that prioritize student well-being and support equitable math learning. We’ll cover strategies for using AI to streamline feedback, promote metacognition, and develop assessments that are resistant to shortcuts while encouraging deeper mathematical understanding. Attendees will leave with actionable tools to integrate AI in ways that reinforce rather than replace learning, connecting mathematics to students’ real lives.
