About

In this hands-on session, we will explore strategies for implementing alternative grading approaches into your teaching. We will discuss key considerations when incorporating alternative grading into courses, including navigating logistical constraints and designing approaches that support equity and learning. In addition to learning about core principles of alternative grading, participants will have the opportunity to work alongside facilitators and other attendees to integrate alternative grading into existing course materials.

The Alternative Grading Studio is geared to TMU faculty and instructors who will be teaching in the 2026-27 academic year. Space is limited, register early to secure your spot.
