RIOS Learning Community annoucement

[Carrie Diaz Eaton]

Good afternoon all, 

I am forwarding an announcement for our alternative grading practices learning community, rooted in a commitment to educational justice. Note that RIOS learning communities are open to all educators, professionals, and researchers in the STEM community - not just faculty. However, you do want to have some implementation of alternative grading planned.

Feel free to forward this announcement to your colleagues.

Salud,

Carrie

We are excited to invite you to a new community of learning focused on Implementing Alternative Grading!

In this 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.Meeting times: Wednesdays, 5-6pm Eastern/2-3pm PacificDates: October 30th through December 18thRegister: Please complete this form (https://forms.gle/zC7XiLaA8YxQ5Wio9) to ensure that you have access to all of the session materials and resources.
