This ungrading page is meant to be a space of exploration and collaboration, as well as a useful resource for language instructors who are interested in ungrading and other alternative forms of assessment. Our hope is that by decentering grades, we can put more focus on language learning.
The CLC first hosted a Roundtable Discussion on ungrading in the fall of 2021.
In the spring of 2022, we began a Faculty Learning Community on ungrading which meets monthly to discuss various topics related to ungrading. You can watch a recording of our first FLC meeting here.
