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
2016 ODE Teacher Competencies: f, g, h
