“Grading for Growth” refers to a grading scheme (sometimes referred to as specifications grading, mastery grading, or standards grading) in which student work is assessed directly on whether the assignment’s standards have been met satisfactorily, with potential for reassessment when deemed unsatisfactory.

 

This approach emphasizes the pairing of learning objectives with assessment, provides clarity and agency in student learning, and encourages perseverance and a growth mindset. Anne will share her experience using this technique in both introductory and upper level courses.
