What do we mean by "participation" and "student engagement," and why do we value these constructs? What messages do we send when we expect students to participate by speaking publicly or answering impromptu questions? Should we include participation as a component of assessment and grading? And how might we evaluate student participation in meaningful ways? In this workshop for all graduate students and postdocs, we will interrogate some of these questions in an effort to broaden conceptions of participation, with a particular focus on intentional inclusion and engagement opportunities for students with hidden disabilities, neurodiversity, and learning differences.

How can we grade both fairly and efficiently? How can we provide feedback that students will reflect on and use to improve their work? This workshop addresses important concerns and challenges of grading—including the question of how to grade student participation. Participants in the workshop will define the criteria for their students’ work and begin to formulate rubrics that can usefully address these concerns as well as meaningfully assess and advance their students’ learning. Further, we consider how we might shift our students’ focus on getting good grades to reflecting on their own learning.
