Alternative Grading Methods

Alternative Grading Methods

Most of the time, grading a stack of essays feels like shoveling a pile of smoke for the weekend. Not only are traditional grading methods time-consuming, but they also yield very little growth or maturation in our student writers. No matter how many comments we manage to squeeze into the margins of our students’ essays, they nevertheless make the same errors and commit the same glitches essay after essay. The major issue with traditional grading practices is that 99% of the heavy lifting is being done by the teacher. All our students need to do is read our comments (which we know many do not) and look at the grade. Over the course of his career, Kristian Kuhn has created 40 alternatives to traditional grading that will not only free up your evenings and weekends but shift the onus back onto the learner, where it belongs for real learning to occur. You’ll come away from this webinar full of fresh ideas and inspiration to start grading in a non-traditional way.
