Workshop Description: If you've become familiar with CVA through the last year and are curious about how to incorporate the idea of alignment for the Descriptive Assessment, this workshop is for you!
Using references from the WCR Lexicon to exemplify intensity - and using additional CVA specific tools to exemplify CATA Descriptors, this workshop will focus on a few alignment activities for intensities and descriptors.
Group discussion is always welcome and we'll emphasize the idea that alignment can be welcome in the (objective) Descriptive Assessment - but is still unnecessary in the Affective Assessment.
