Description
Differentiation is an important part of making sure that every one of your students is having their educational needs met. Creating well-differentiated lessons can make grading tricky, but educators Emily Savage and Dr. Jennifer Lorch say that it doesn’t have to be difficult. In the course “Grading in the Differentiated Classroom,” Ms. Savage and Dr. Lorch give educators the tools they need to accurately and fairly grade their lessons. After taking this course, you’ll be prepared to grade any differentiated lesson.
In this course, you’ll learn about:
- Grading policies
- Practical ways to organize
- Equity
- How to grade with the end in mind

I really enjoyed this module, because it gives us different reasons why grading in a different way is important to not only the student but to be able to explain the parents.

Becky – CENTERBURG LOCAL (verified owner) –
I liked the idea of a 4-point grading scale. That the overall grade can change over the course of the unit, and is not dependent upon each individual assignment.
Patricia – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –
Great Ideas
Brandy – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
I absolutely loved this session! I consider differentiation to be my weakness, and it is now evident of the many things I can do to implement it. Giving a reteach and different assignment instead of a retest is brilliant. I also loved keeping track of the different checkpoints in a content area.

Differentiation is an area that can be difficult and this was helpful.
Jessica – WORTHINGTON CITY (verified owner) –
Excellent beginning views of mastery based learning. Not as beneficial to those with some experience.
James – RIPLEY-UNION-LEWIS-HUNTINGTON LOCAL (verified owner) –
A person can start to prepare by thinking about what ignites your passion at work, then think about the opposite of that are there some tasks that make you disinterested, uninterested or demotivated.
Elizabeth – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –
I think that Lauren and Emily give good suggestions of how to use tiered assignments, how to organize differentiated lessons, and how to track student progress using mastery of learning standards. I think suggesting it should change the grading system (100 point scale to 4 point scale) is a bit of a stretch when district policies and culture dictates a lot of the influence over grades.
