Adapting our classrooms to the needs of our students is an important aspect of good teaching and learning. In this session, you will hear about strategies to address the dynamic needs of students coming out of pandemic teaching and techniques that benefit all students through Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

To enhance student ownership over their learning experience, students evaluated their own learning processes and had a voice in decisions related to course design and delivery. Whenever possible, changes recommended by a majority of students were implemented and evaluated for their impact on student learning.

What can a grade convey? In our classes, we track student proficiency in each course learning objective and allow students multiple opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of each objective. This gives students the chance to continue working on skills past traditional deadlines such as exam dates, and it gives instructors more detailed information about student progress. We will discuss how we have implemented these alternative grading techniques in our math courses, ways to test-drive these techniques in a traditionally graded course, and how to build learning objectives and track student progress using Canvas.
