DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE.\nFacilitated by Jesse Stommel\, faculty member in the Writing Program at University of Denver and co-founder of Digital Pedagogy Lab and Hybrid Pedagogy: the journal of critical digital pedagogy.\nLunch served from 12 - 1 p.m. MST\n"Ungrading" means raising an eyebrow at grades as a systemic practice\, distinct from simply not grading. The word is a present participle\, an ongoing process\, not a static set of practices. Too many of our approaches to grades treat students like they’re interchangeable and fail to recognize their complexity. Can we imagine flexible approaches to assessment\, pedagogies which center intrinsic more than extrinsic motivation\, encouraging and supporting learning\, rather than policing behavior? We have to design for the least privileged\, most marginalized students\, the ones more likely to have felt isolated even before the pandemic: disabled students\, chronically ill students\, Black students\, international students\, queer students\, those facing housing and food-insecurity\, etc. We need to write policies\, imagine new ways forward\, for students already struggling\, already facing exclusion. In this workshop\, we'll examine the foundations for our pedagogical approaches\, consider the history of grades\, examine the bias inherent in many of our standardized systems\, and explore methods and approaches for designing assessments that push back against traditional notions of grading. The workshop will balance presentation with activities and discussion.\n\nhttps://today.coloradocollege.edu/events/4506
