For writing programs, faculty developers, and academic leaders
Grades record outcomes. A brief account of an instructor’s decision can also show what the student’s response revealed, what remains uncertain, and whether the assignment needs attention. GPF connects that record to the people with authority to act.
Paid Workshop
Grading as Evidence
Faculty bring one assignment and its rubric. Together, we work through a focused response, the student action it invites, and how to interpret what follows. We then ask what a recurring difficulty would mean for course review.
What participants take away
- A focused response using Signal · Principle · Show me.
- A plan for examining the student’s next action without overstating what it proves.
- A brief record of the teaching decision and a question for course review.
- A proposed route for bringing recurring concerns to a colleague or course leader.
Fees: Inquire. Format, scope, schedule, and total fee are agreed before booking.

Several students omit the same part of a final project. Their responses matter; so does examining whether the instructions and assignment design contributed to the pattern.
