Our traditional systems of grading tend to reward behavior rather than knowledge, to be demotivating, and to demand that instructors perform endless workarounds to improve student outcomes. During this webinar, the presenters introduce an approach to grading that aims to equitably assess student learning and motivate student persistence. Presenters share details about grading strategies, preliminary results, and lessons learned from the implementation. They also provide a sample alternative assessment tool.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify how the traditional system of grading produces and reinforces inequities.
- Explain how alternative grading models are more equitable.
- Compare tools and strategies to apply a more equitable grading approach in the classroom.
- Webinar
