Going gradeless can be a challenge, but it's definitely possible. Here are 10 ways to get started:
1. Start with small steps.
You don't have to go gradeless overnight. Start by making small changes to your grading system. For example, you could eliminate letter grades and use descriptive feedback instead. Or, you could create a system where students self-assess their work.
2. Communicate your intentions to students.
It's important to let students know why you're going gradeless. Explain to them that you want to create a more positive and supportive learning environment.
3. Be clear about your expectations.
Even though you're going gradeless, it's still important to have clear expectations for students. Make sure they know what you expect them to learn and how they will be assessed.
4. Provide frequent feedback.
Feedback is essential for learning. When students go gradeless, they need regular feedback to know how they're ng.
5. Focus on the process, not the product.
Traditional grading systems often focus on the final product. However, when you go gradeless, you can focus on the process of learning. This means giving students opportunities to revise and improve their work.
6. Create a portfolio of student work.
A portfolio is a great way to track student progress over time. Students can collect samples of their work, including both successes and failures. This can help them to see their growth and identify areas for improvement.
7. Use rubrics.
Rubrics are a great way to provide students with clear feedback. They can also help students to self-assess their work.
8. Allow students to redo assignments.
In a traditional grading system, students often only have one chance to complete an assignment. However, when you go gradeless, you can allow students to redo assignments as many times as they need to.
9. Use self-assessment.
Self-assessment is a powerful tool that can help students to become more independent learners. When students self-assess, they reflect on their own work and identify areas for improvement.
10. Be patient.
Going gradeless takes time. Don't be discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Just keep working at it and you'll eventually see the benefits.
Going gradeless can be a challenge, but it's definitely possible. By following these tips, you can create a more positive and supportive learning environment for your students.
