On Zoom

Brought to you by the Inclusive Pedagogy Committee

ALL Faculty and Staff welcome and encouraged to attend!

What’s TILT?

TILT reduces systemic inequities, including those related to racism, by advancing equitable teaching and learning practices.  Leveraging the power of a shared vocabulary, TILT changes campus culture by promoting students’ understanding of how they learn, and by enabling faculty/staff to make data-informed revisions to courses and programming.

Ungrading Book Discussion

Ungrading is a new, research-driven, experience-based book that explores the process of going gradeless by changing how we assess and evaluate student learning. It contains essays from fifteen educators across a range of disciplines and institutions, most of whom are recognized pedagogical experts. Including both reflections and strategies, the book is an extremely helpful way to rethink not just how we assess learning, but also how we conceptualize both our pedagogical practices and also instructor-student relationships.

There will be a book discussion for interested faculty and staff on Tuesday, April 27 from 11:10-12:20 via Zoom. Dr. Susan Blum, the editor of the book, will be joining us for the discussion. Copies of the book will be provided prior to the discussion to those who need them. Due to the interactive nature of the event, there are very limited spots available, so please respond to reserve your spot.
