First, Do No Harm: Equitable Grading Practices That Support Mastery
January 19, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Webinar Description:
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. In this webinar, the presenters introduce an approach to grading that aims to equitably assess student learning and motivate student persistence. Presenters share details on grading strategies, preliminary results, and learning from 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.
