In this workshop, Anna Hiatt will share her approach to competency-based grading in her high enrollment classroom. She will share examples of how specifications-based grading has been incorporated into her class and some of the lessons she learned along the way. Attendees will be asked to consider the key effects of various grading practices they might implement in their own classes.

Participants will:

  • Identify key competencies/outcomes in their courses
  • Review the alignment of assessments and outcomes in their courses
  • Identify behaviors that are incentivised through various grading practices
