Equitable Grading Practices

In this 15-hour mini-course, K-12 educators will analyze the intent of their grading philosophy and its impact on student learning. When educators unpack and understand how deeply held beliefs, attitudes and methods impact their educational practices and students’ wellbeing, only then can they begin to bridge the gap between current methods and future equity practices. In this course, students will evaluate their grading philosophies and explore equitable grading concepts through the introduction of the three pillars: Accurate, Bias Resistant, and Motivation outlined by Feldman (2019) in Grading for Equity.
