| Overview Summary | This proposal will help SUNY Brockport faculty explore and implement a wide range of innovative assessment strategies that fall under the umbrella of ungrading, which fosters student learning and development and promotes equity in instruction and grading. |
| Project Abstract | Many campuses are looking at innovations in assessment and grading to improve student learning outcomes and increase educational equity. In particular, ungrading is an alternative grading method used to foster student motivation and growth. It focuses on a collection of feedback strategies where students become active participants in the assessment process. This project will a) offer a faculty development workshop on ungrading for interested SUNY Brockport faculty, b) support a Faculty Learning Community among SUNY Brockport professors interested in this approach, and c) offer incentives to faculty to pilot new alternative grading methods in their classroom during the Spring ’24 semester. |
