Learn what a growth mindset is and how to cultivate it in your students (and yourself!) by building revision into assessments and practicing transparency in how you assign the grades you do using skills-based grading. We will design a rubric for a skills-based assignment, and practice giving feedback that focuses on how students can improve by understanding their grade as a demonstration of their competency in the skills they are building in class.
EVENT FORMAT: This workshop is an on-campus, in-person event.
EVENT FACILITATOR: Noah Blakemore Briggs, PhD Student, Political Science, nblake4@uic.edu
