About this Event

Virtual Event

Add to calendar

Feldman, Klamm, and Corwin challenge our inherited system of grading that is all too often complex, high-stakes, compliance-driven, and whose benefits are disproportionately weighted in favor of advantaged students. In our faculty group, we will together explore Grading for Equity and discuss the author's arguments for an alternative grading system, one that promotes greater equity and pivots back to student learning. There will be opportunities to reflect, share, and provide/receive feedback on our own current grading and assessment practices.

Facilitated by: Jeremiah Hower
Associate Teaching Professor, Math and Statistical Sciences

Theme(s): Inclusive and Learning Centered Teaching
