A community of practice (CoP) is a group whose members “share a passion for something they know how to do and who interact regularly to learn how to do it better” (Wenger, 2006). Depending on the interests of members, they may host presentations from various CSU departments, share ideas and problem-solve together, host guest speakers, collaborate on projects, or hold social/networking events.
The Alternative Grading CoP explores and shares different types of assessments and how to make grading practices more equitable. Topics will include student-generated rubrics, mastery grading, standards-based grading, and more as defined by the CoP. The CoP’s vision is to increase student motivation and learning at CSU through equitable assessment. And its mission is to build and strengthen community and teaching skills by sharing resources, stories, knowledge, and experience to promote equitable grading at CSU.
