Abstract: Grade‐risk provides a powerful ally in establishing relevance between course content and the lives of students. As used in this article, grade‐risk refers to the potential for the loss of points on examinations, quizzes, etc. This article describes the rationale and feasibility associated with the introduction of a student‐centered grade insurance project that provides some measure of protection against grade‐risk. The project engages students on multiple levels and in various capacities resulting in a significantly enriched learning experience. The authors include examples employed in their own classroom in demonstrating the feasibility and validity of grade insurance as a learning tool.
