Exploration and Development of Non-Traditional Grading Methods: Session One
Exploration and Development of Non-Traditional Grading Methods
Facilitated by
Lindsy Mason O’Brien
Lake Superior College
2022 Board of Trustees Awards for Excellence Educator of the Year
When it comes to equity work in the classroom, one major area we can consider is how we grade. Although we are required to submit our institution’s required final grades, there are many possibilities available for how our students earn those grades.
This 3-part series will provide an introduction and overview of various non-traditional grading methods as well as help participants develop individual plans for how they might use these methods for specific assignments or courses. The workshop structure will allow for peer-to-peer discussion and feedback.
Participants should plan to attend all 3 sessions, but the first session will be recorded and may be viewed in preparation to attend the later sessions.
Session One
The Why and How
