The Claremont Colleges CTL and The University of La Verne CTL present the 2022 CTL Spring Distinguished Lecture

Ungrading and Related Practices with Dr. Susan D. Blum

In this distinguished lecture, Susan D. Blum introduces some of the principles behind the growing practices united under the umbrella of “ungrading”– calling into question the centrality of conventional grading practices. She also talks about many concrete practices that she and others use to implement ungrading–leading to greater learning and equity.
