Abstract: 

In the journey toward more equitable education systems, the process of grading often gets left out of the story. Traditional grading practices (an A-F scale) have a history of contributing to the achievement gap, involving implicit racial and socioeconomic bias. If as educators we are striving to be equitable teachers, we must look at our grading practices as well. Equitable grading practices should include multiple opportunities for students to succeed and promote student growth. Potential answers to equitable grading practices include standards-based grading, sliding scale rubric, and grade-less grading.
