Community of Practice: Alternative Grading Practices

Sponsored by TILT, the Alternative Grading CoP explores and shares different types of assessments and how to make grading practices more equitable. Topics include mastery grading, standards-based grading, specifications grading and more as defined by the CoP. All experience levels welcome.

Our Vision: Increase student motivation and learning at CSU through equitable assessment.

Our Mission: Build and strengthen community and teaching skills by sharing resources, stories, knowledge, and experience to promote equitable grading at CSU.

The CoP whole group meeting occurs once a month and is typically a semester-long commitment. Anyone is welcome to join a meeting to see what we’re all about.
