Fall 2025 Learning Community
The Center for Grading Reform, in partnership with the RIOS Institute, is pleased to sponsor a Learning Community on Implementing Alternative Grading for post-secondary faculty. In this six week learning community, participants will work through a scaffolded implementation plan to incorporate an alternative grading schema into their next course. Participants should have some familiarity with alternative grading and have identified a course they will teach next semester/quarter in which they would like to use alternative grading.
- Participants will work through a scaffolded implementation plan to incorporate an alternative grading schema in a course they teach.
- Participants will develop a community of peers focused on mutual feedback and support while implementing alternative grading
- Participants will complete the relevant parts of the syllabus for using an alternative grading practice in a course they teach.
