Common Forms of Alternative Grading

Recommendation
This blog post is a great place to start if you want to distinguish between types of alternative grading and learn about their goals and key principles. Each section contains links to articles, books, and web resources that provide deep dives into each type of alternative grading.
There is a wide variety in alternative assessment methods, and even more names for them. You might have heard some of these names and wondered, “What is that?” In today’s post, I’m going to describe some of these approaches to assessment that *aren’t* standards-based grading, specifications grading, or things along those lines. I’ll take a look at their common features and differences with the forms of assessment that we more often discuss on this blog.
