Cafeteria-Style Grading Workshop

Cafeteria-Style Grading Workshop

Virtual Workshop

Facilitated by: Deanna Forsman, North Hennepin Community College and 2014 Board of Trustees Educator of the Year

Cafeteria-style grading is a pedagogical approach that allows students to customize their learning within specific parameters. This approach has been correlated with increased student engagement with course content and improved learning gains in the research literature. Preliminary research suggests it is associated with increased student sense of belonging in the classroom.

This workshop will provide a brief overview of cafeteria-style grading and its implementation in an online asynchronous history survey. The remainder of the workshop will be hands-on work to adapt current learning activities and goals to the cafeteria-style model. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a road-map to implement cafeteria-style grading in their own classes.

Participants are advised to have current assignments/learning activities, a syllabus, and course outcomes at hand to facilitate the hands-on portion of the workshop.
