Section on webpage: | Ungrading |
Tenets: | Promoting reflexivity. Treating students as agentic co-educators. Building equity, trust, mutual respect, and support. Promoting cooperative learning. |
Annotation: | The moment is right for critical reflection on what has been assumed to be a core part of schooling. In Ungrading, fifteen educators write about their diverse experiences going gradeless. Some contributors are new to the practice and some have been engaging in it for decades. Some are in humanities and social sciences, some in STEM fields. Some are in higher education, but some are the K–12 pioneers who led the way. Based on rigorous and replicated research, this is the first book to show why and how faculty who wish to focus on learning, rather than sorting or judging, might proceed. It includes honest reflection on what makes ungrading challenging, and testimonials about what makes it transformative. |

Section on webpage: | Ungrading |
Tenets: | Promoting reflexivity. Treating students as agentic co-educators. Building equity, trust, mutual respect, and support. Using technology intentionally to build communities and enhance learning. |
Annotation: | In this article, the author has compiled several professors’ reflections on implementing ungrading in their higher education classrooms. As these professors note, using this policy greatly improved learning and the students’ experiences as a whole. The downside to this, as noted by one professor, is the possibility for grade inflation. Though, as mentioned, this can easily be combatted through a variety of measures. Overall, this method – a blend of traditional grading and ungrading – has proven to be effective in the learning environment. |
