Equitable Grading Practices inn Action

Most educators were successful as students, so it is likely that traditional grading practices worked well for us when we were in middle and high school. However, they do not work well for all students. We have heard that more equitable grading practices promote greater success for all students, particularly those historically underserved.
It can be very difficult to imagine something different from what we lived. What would different (more equitable) grading practices look like in action? How could they potentially benefit all students? It is not about lowering expectations. It is about helping all students succeed at a high level.
We will examine scenarios where teachers use different grading practices and think about the effects those practices have on students. By the end of our time, we will discuss the potential impact for students as well as the instructional and logistical considerations of the grading practices we examine together. This interactive session is geared toward but not limited to grade 6-12 teachers.
