In this episode, we dive into the topic of equity in grading and assessment practices. Despite the inherent contradictions in the word "assessment," we explore how we can make our pedagogical practices more accessible and inclusive for all students.
Our guest, Marielle, shares her insights and experiences with equitable assessment and how it has impacted her students' success. Marielle discusses the importance of considering students' individual needs and backgrounds in grading practices, and how we can move away from traditional models that disadvantage certain groups of students.
Throughout the episode, we challenge the notion of "success" in education and how it is defined by traditional grading systems. Instead, we aim to shift the conversation towards a more inclusive definition of success that accounts for the diverse experiences and challenges that students face.
By the end of the episode, we will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of equity in assessment and how we can work towards creating a more accessible and inclusive education system for all students. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation on "The Learning Curve."
