Grading for Equity: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How It Can Transform Schools and Classrooms
Despite our deepest commitment to equity, many of our current grading practices are artifacts of the Industrial Revolution and actually undermine effective teaching and perpetuate achievement disparities. Equitable grading and assessment are particularly relevant during the pandemic, and how school and district leaders can support more consistent, equitable grading practices.
The session will examine current grading practices, provide an introduction to equitable grading practices, describe the quantitative and qualitative data describing the impact of current grading practices on historically underserved students.
