Assessment is one of my favorite topics! The #UngradingChat has wonderful resources if you haven’t explored ungrading or standards-based grading. The rush for “points” definitely circumvents actual learning…

Why would legislators ban standards-based grading? There isn’t even a rationale (maybe “writing rationale” was one of learning targets not mastered by this author).
Unnecessary antics at this point.

In 2017, an Iowa legislator proposed a ban on extra credit for school supplies. Sadly, nothing happened. #UnGradingChat

Vertical 3 panel meme: top picture shows a hand grating a piece of cheese on cheese grater with the word "Grating", middle picture shows a hand grating a piece of cheese on a car-shaped cheese grater with the words "Alternative Grating" and bottom picture shows two blocks of uncut cheese with the word "Ungrating"
How about this grate joke #ungrading #ungradingchat #AcademicSky #edusky #TeachingSky

Since my assessment approach (evidence with a grade pitch) is so different from what students are used to & since not every task adds to an ever-changing average, students sometimes will not prioritize tasks in our class over other courses.

Thank you, mike-duvall.bsky.social, for your question. What can we do to encourage our students to put time and effort into the work in our ungraded classrooms? #ungradingchat

I aim for a gradeless classroom in my HS ELA courses (using grade pitches), but I’m starting to like the idea of contracts, or clearer categories (checklists?) of each letter grade. It’s a process for sure! #UngradingChat

A5: By inviting them to share their goals beyond a grade. Highlight the importance of learning outcomes. “Choose Your Adventure” assignments where they tell me what they want to do & how to assess it. It helps them better understand how to design learning for themselves. #UngradingChat #Slowchatting

#UngradingChat A3: Love this Q, it hits at the criticism that gradeless classes lack motivated Ss. But there is something special when Ss produce effort & motivation bc there ARE NO grades to limit them. When they are laboring for themselves & their own learning goals & they're enjoying the work!

A1. Explain ‘why’. Share resources and engage with them to build understanding. Allow anonymous questions frequently. #ungradingchat

A3. Some think it’s a trick. Having past students come in to talk about their experiences has helped. And providing lots of time for q’s and lots of opportunities to practice #ungrading. #ungradingchat

A3. I centre the conversation around their own goals & what they want to achieve. Providing places for students to have input in course decisions has helped. But I found students have worked differently but effectively in my ungraded classrooms. #ungradingchat

I worked with a local district today to talk about assessment philosophy and trace my own journey. Excellent discussions on using 0s, the 100-pt scale, percentages versus letter grades, retakes, and student reflection!
It was my 2nd consulting gig, and this work is so engaging!

I think many of my students are unsettled that the grade is no longer behavioral. They are used to doing only things that are graded, and that's the key to their success. So we talk a lot about what structures I've set up to scaffold their learning, how to get help, etc. #UngradingChat A2

#ungradingchat A1: I do this, too. I also talk about how hard self-evaluation is, and how helpful it is to practice it.
