As educators, we are part of a diverse and ever-evolving educational landscape that requires us to create policies, practices, and procedures that advance equity, inclusivity, and dignity within our education system in order to remove barriers for student success.  It is our responsibility to to crate safe and nurturing learning environments where each and every student can thrive. 

We are excited to present our Equitable Grading Toolkit for Educators as a comprehensive resource designed to empower educators with knowledge, resources, and strategies to foster equitable teaching, learning, assessing, and grading practices.  This toolkit addresses four key components critical to cultivating an environment in which every student has the potential to learn and succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances: 

• Mindsets for Safe & Equitable Grading

• Practices for Safe & Equitable Grading

• Safe & Equitable Instruction

• Safe & Equitable Assessment

We hope that you and your team can use the individual one paged tools within this toolkit to stimulate rich conversations, support shifts in your policies, procedures, and practices, and ultimately create equitable learning experiences and environments for all students. We have the power to transform our schools and classrooms into empowering spaces where each and every student has ownership over their learning and potential to excel.  We are excited to be on this journey together, advancing educational equity, inclusivity, and dignity one decision at a time.
