Events
Schreyer Institute programs are for anyone at Penn State who has an instructional role or is preparing for a future one. Our participants are typically faculty, graduate students, and postdocs. Academic administrators, instructional designers, staff members, and undergraduates in instructional roles are also welcome.
Grading for Growth for Future Faculty
Facilitated by Laura Cruz, Research Professor
Thursday, 2/19/2026, 12:00 p.m. - 1:15 p.m.
Via Zoom
In this interactive webinar, you will get the opportunity to explore emerging approaches to re-centering grading. Referred to by various terms--including ungrading, specifications grading, standards-based grading, and more--these approaches all share a focus on recognizing and encouraging student growth. Join us to find out more about how these practices might become a part of your current or future teaching practice.
Graduate students, postdocs, and new faculty may find the program especially beneficial, but anyone in an instructional role is welcome.
Registration will close 1 hour before the workshop begins. Registrants will receive a Zoom link at least 45 minutes before the event begins. Space is limited.
