Ungrading

Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead) | Susan D. Blum

5 posts | 4 read | 1 to read

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. CONTRIBUTORS: Aaron Blackwelder Susan D.

This is a life-altering book, or a career-changing book, or a paradigm-shifting book. I attended a professional conference for educators where it was mentioned in a session on equitable grading practices, and one of the other conference participants talked a bit about her experience after a year of using practices she developed for her own courses from the resources in this. It blew me away, totally recommended reading for literally every teacher.

So excited about this book, I learned about it at a conference last month and was so fascinated with the concept.

Can scarcely stand to post a teaching-related book bc I‘m SO happy to be on break right now. 😆 But this was good. Some pieces resonated more than others; many good tips and insights throughout, and I appreciated the sense of community among contributors. I think I‘d prefer the print, but at least the info got into my brain!
