How can we grade fairly, transparently, and in a way that motivates our students? What grading techniques foster student engagement and investment in learning, and what practices might we want to move away from? In this workshop, we’ll reflect critically on the values that our grading tools express, identify common types of grading bias, and introduce alternative strategies for grading for more equitable evaluation. Drawing on current scholarship on grading and assessment, we will invite participants to evaluate, adapt, and create their own tools for assessment–including but not limited to rubrics–to better serve their students and their needs as instructors.
