This book explores faculty professional development on equitable assessment practices in college classrooms. Grounded in longitudinal, autoethnographic case studies from professors implementing un-grading in their own varied classrooms, this book prepares those who lead faculty development to facilitate content, workshops, and conversations related to un-grading. The authors developed a professional development certificate on un-grading as a way to introduce faculty across disciplines to alternative assessment methods through an equity lens. The certificate introduces un-grading incrementally, so faculty can make small, medium, or large changes to their assessments based on their needs. Readers will be introduced to the concept of un-grading, un-grading frameworks, various un-grading methods including mastery-based, labor-based contracts, and laissez faire grading, critiques and challenges of un-grading, plus curriculum and actionable strategies for implementing un-grading professional development for faculty.
