Responsive, equitable teaching is a nice idea, but what happens when it comes to grading students? Being sensitive to different readiness levels, interests, and learning challenges while holding students accountable for the same standards can be a challenge.  What's fair and leads to real student learning?  Join us for a candid look at the principles and practices of accurate, ethical, and equitable grading. Specifically, we’ll do a deep dive into what grades mean, alternative assessments, becoming evidentiary, avoiding conflation and inflation, formative vs. summative assessments in grading (or not), averaging or not, disaggregation, zeroes on the 100-point scale turned into minimum F’s, marking homework, handling late work, setting up the gradebook, descriptive feedback techniques, re-learning/re-assessing policies, using or not using extra credit, marking group projects, grading students identified as needing special education services, student agency (voice and choice), and much more. We’ll present the “why” as well as the, “how,” in grading - all while maintaining actionable diligence regarding equity concerns and modern teaching.  Affirming to some, radical to others, these elements are all dedicated to busting current myths about grading, removing barriers to real learning and achievement for all students, and building students’ self-efficacy. Since assessment and grading practices imbue practically everything else we do in the classroom, this becomes a truly transforming experience. Don’t miss it!
