PSU faculty will be exploring grading practices during the spring term. They will dive into the thought-provoking world of "Ungrading," curated by Susan D. Blum, where fifteen educators share their diverse journeys in adopting a gradeless approach. From newcomers to seasoned practitioners across various disciplines, these voices offer invaluable insights into reshaping assessment practices.
There will be thought-provoking discussions fueled by rigorous research and candid reflections on the challenges and rewards of prioritizing learning over traditional grading. We will be sharing inspiring testimonials that illuminate the transformative potential of ungrading in education.
Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the book from the Office of Academic Innovation prior to the first meeting once registered. OAI is located on the second floor mezzanine in room 209M in SMSU.
Registration for spring is closed. We have a full group.
