Registration - EMPOWER: "Equitable Grading Strategies" (Spring 2023)
Dear COE Faculty,

The College of Engineering, in partnership with the Center for Teaching and Learning, invites you to attend an interactive EMPOWER module, "Equitable Grading Strategies," on March 15, March 22, and April 5, 2023, from 9:30-11 a.m. PT in 290 HMMB.

Workshop 1: Why change my grading practices now?

In this initial session, participants will consider the role and value of grades in students' learning processes and experiences, and examine ways in which traditional grading practices can exacerbate inequities. Participants will also begin to explore "alternative" grading strategies and related research on student learning.

Workshop 2: What equity-centered frameworks for assessment and grading are there? 

In this workshop, participants will explore and get practice with specific equity-centered grading frameworks and identify opportunities to adjust one or more methods of assessment in their teaching contexts.

Workshop 3: How can I incorporate equitable grading strategies in my teaching practice?

In this final session, participants will discuss and share experiences in implementing equitable assessment practices, and will collaboratively workshop and develop strategies to implement new practices in their own teaching contexts.

If you have any questions, please contact the Inclusive Excellence Programs Manager, Chaniqua Butscher at chaniqua@berkeley.edu.
