74. TIF Program, Grading Matters: Planning for Student Success in Your Future Classroom

Program: Teacher Immersion Fellows Program

Audience: Teacher Immersion Fellows (TIF) Program Fellows

Dates: 10/6/2025

This professional development is open to Teacher Immersion Fellows (TIF) Program Fellows only.

Have you thought about the grading practices you would like to use in your future classroom? Many teachers choose their own individual way they grade based on what they think is best for their students. However, where do the ideas for these practices come from? Are they based on research, best practice, or tradition? Many traditional grading practices do not support what we now know about student learning and motivation and often work against current equity initiatives. In fact, Joe Feldman says, "We may bring new curriculum and instructional strategies to our classrooms, engage in courageous conversations about identity, and collectively dedicate our schools to equity, but we undermine it all when we continue to use many common grading practices.” What are more equitable grading practices? What small changes could make a big difference when it comes to helping all our students succeed? Attend this session to find out.

Program: Curriculum Instruction and Prof Dev

Audience: Any and all teachers

Dates: 10/20/2025 to 12/9/2025

How do you connect your instruction to assessment while keeping equity in mind? It gets overwhelming thinking about all the initiatives we are expected to do, what the research suggests and what we have time to do. By connecting instruction and assessment, we can become more efficient at finding out what students know, understand and can do. Some steps we can take are modifying assessments, providing accommodations, and adapting our instruction to better understand where our students are in their learning. We should be considering the needs of our diverse learners (neuro-diverse, culturally, linguistically, physically, economically, cognitively). These equitable practices contribute to a growth mindset, building hope and motivation while fostering each student's greatest potential. In this series, we will explore strategies to:


• Differentiate assessments based on the student's needs,


• Modify existing assessments,


• Utilize inclusive and best practices to support all learners, and


• Influence student motivation.

88. TIF Program, Equitable Grading Practices: Scenarios & Simulations

Program: Teacher Immersion Fellows Program

Audience: Teacher Immersion Fellows (TIF) Program Fellows

Dates: 10/21/2025

This professional development is open to Teacher Immersion Fellows (TIF) Program Fellows only.

Most educators were successful as students, so it is likely that traditional grading practices worked well for us when we were in middle and high school. However, they do not work well for all students. We have heard that more equitable grading practices promote greater success for all students, particularly those historically underserved. It can be very difficult to imagine something different from what we lived. What would different (more equitable) grading practices look like in action? How could they potentially benefit all students? It is not about lowering expectations. It is about helping all students succeed at a high level. We will examine scenarios where teachers use different grading practices and consider the effects those practices have on students. By the end of our time, we will discuss the potential impact for students as well as the instructional and logistical considerations of the grading practices we examine together. This interactive session is geared toward but not limited to grade 6-12 teachers.

Have you ever paused to reflect on the types of questions you ask your students during instruction? Every day, teachers use questions to guide learning, spark curiosity, and check for understanding - but when asked with intention and care, questioning can make all the difference.

In this session, we'll explore how thoughtful questioning strategies can deepen student thinking, foster meaningful classroom discussions, and boost engagement. Together, we'll examine how questions can be used not just to assess knowledge, but to build it-by uncovering student thinking and promoting higher-order reasoning.

Participants will leave with practical strategies and ready-to-use ideas that can transform everyday questioning into a powerful tool for learning.

Program: Monroe Accountability, Assessment & Reporting Services

Many educators adopt grading practices based on what worked for them as students-often without formal training in assessment best practices. But traditional grading methods don't always align with what we now understand about student learning and motivation. In this session, we'll critically examine the "why” behind common grading practices and consider possible alternatives that could better support all learners. What small, intentional shifts can we make that lead to big impacts in student success?
