Ungrading Faculty Learning Community

Calling those with an adventurist spirit and an affinity for student learning!

There have been many innovations in education. We moved from classrooms to Zoom and back again. We have learned to teach effectively in synchronous and asynchronous, online environments. We have explored and implemented active, team-based, collaborative, project-based, problem-based pedagogy in our classrooms, increasing students’ engagement and learning. We have learned how games and game theory can be used to increase student engagement in class materials. In short, we have transformed education in many ways.

Now let us explore and examine one of the foundations of our educational system - grades. What do they mean? Are they effective? Why do we give them? 

Ungrading is more than just not giving grades, in fact our current system requires that we give grades. Ungrading is a way of thinking to assist students in their learning in ways that transcend grades.

Join us for a learning community where we will explore the ins, outs, and alternatives to traditional grading.
