Ten for Teaching: Using intentional and learning-centered grading strategies (ASYNCHRONOUS)

Although generating a grading policy might seem like an afterthought, the decisions that we make around grading are impactful for our students and may significantly influence their experiences in our courses. In this workshop, we will begin by exploring our own grading philosophies, including what we think different grades mean, how effort should be factored in, and if all students should be able to earn an A. We will explore strategies for creating a more learning-centered approach to grading and will conclude by considering alternative grading frameworks.
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
-- Articulate your own philosophy around giving grades.
-- Analyze what “A” and “C” grades mean to you
-- Explain strategies for creating a more learning-centered approach to grading
-- Describe the general features of various alternative grading frameworks

This workshop will take place asynchronously over the course of a week. Shortly before the workshop begins you will receive an invitation for a Canvas course where you'll find the workshop activities. The activities are meant to be completed throughout the week, but the schedule will be flexible to allow you to complete it at your own pace.
