[FUN_Mail] FUN Friday - Alternative Grading Overview and Insights - Dec 6, 4 pm (ET)

[Amy Jo Stavnezer]

Hello FUN Friends,
Have you heard of alternative, specifications, mastery-based or un-grading?  Are you interested in learning more about them, how to implement them or why you might consider this a more equitable practice in your classroom?  Please join us for a special edition of a FUN First Friday on December 6 at 4 pm (ET).

Two alternative grading experts, Katie Mattaini<https://as.tufts.edu/biology/people/faculty/katherine-mattaini> and Drew Lewis<https://www.drew-lewis.com/>, will offer you a chance to think about this for next semester’s assessment plan (yep, even before this one is over!). They will introduce several alternative grading practices, discuss strengths and drawbacks, provide examples from their own teaching, and give you opportunities to consider how you might implement one or more in your Spring 2025 classes (or beyond).

Please feel free to share this link with colleagues, this topic is not really Neuro-specific, and we welcome more participants that can benefit from our session.

Please register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEtde6qpzIqGNenHGN2cHLzGavo46RT-2wW

Best of luck as we race to Thanksgiving!
Amy Jo, David, Shannon and Barbara
