2026 Peralta Online Equity Conference- Workshop 4B: Preparing Faculty for Un-Grading Elizabeth Harsma, Kevin Dover & Kelly Moreland | Minnesota State University In this workshop, presenters will share insights from their forthcoming book, Preparing Faculty for Equitable Assessment: A Guide for Un-grading Professional Development. The book builds on a professional development certificate they offered to university faculty in Summer 2023. This workshop will explain their flexible approach to un-grading professional development that is incremental, interdisciplinary, and collaborative. Presenters will also offer practical instructional design steps that model equitable facilitation, un-grading assessment, and address common challenges. As a next step, participants will then adapt the example program for use in their own contexts. This workshop is for participants with some experience in un-grading and an interest in facilitating un-grading professional development.
