Grades are deeply embedded in our educational system...but what if they’re not the best tool for supporting student learning?

Join Sarah Seiffert for this reflective session that invites faculty to explore the core philosophies behind ungrading, a growing movement that challenges traditional assessment practices. We’ll explore the role of grades in motivation, power, and learning,  reflect on how grading shapes our teaching, and consider practical ways to encourage student autonomy, reflection, and growth. Whether you're ready to give up grades or just curious about what it might look like, this session offers space to think differently about how we can assess and support our students.
