In the
Weeds
A practitioner's perspective on math, education & change.
Educational Access for All
By preparing our courses so that students with disabilities can overcome barriers to access, we are utilizing the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines. The purpose of this blog is to share some small changes you can make to the learning environment so that all students can participate without barriers, increasing equity and access to quality education.
Project-Based Assessments
In this blog, Arlene Vinion Dubiel shares what makes an exemplary project-based assessment with the intent of helping others to identify, modify, and/or create high-quality project-based assessments.
Grading to Promote Learning
As you complete your grading for the academic year, consider whether your course grading system promotes a learning orientation or a task-completion orientation. Changing a course grading system to focus almost entirely on summative projects produced final grades that rewarded quality over participation and effort.
