Grading should do more than provide a grade for a course; it should help them feel they belong and that the course is designed to help them learn and thrive. In this Change One Thing workshop, the community of practice explored hands-on design to explore retooling assessments (grading, feedback, or evaluation method) to foster a sense of belonging. Attendees shared approaches that has already fostered belonging in their teaching or learning journey, and collaboratively identified assessment practices that could help foster a sense of inclusion and belonging in courses.
