Grading for Educational Equity: Feedback That Empowers Student Engagement
This event has been cancelled. Please return to our events page to see our upcoming list of events.
Description: Grading practices should help our students engage in meaningful, authentic work, and encourage students to set goals, guide learning, and self-reflect. True student engagement is the result of effective instruction, including opportunities to practice skills and receive feedback that encourages growth. The school’s grading system should be designed to give feedback to students so they can take charge of their learning and to provide information to all who support these students, and not to punish students or sort them into levels. In this session, we will focus on grading strategies that allow for growth and result in more student engagement for all students.
Participant Outcomes:
- Reflect on current practices and experiences with grading.
- Deepen your understanding of how to encourage practice and feedback that moves your school toward more equitable grading practices.
- Develop a plan for applying equitable grading practices in your classroom, school, or district.
Audience: Teachers (at all levels), administrators who support teachers in creating equitable schools, and community members or parents who may be involved in school governance.
