Assessing & Grading Chapter 1

Abstract:

Chapter one talks about the idea that some students have special needs and need a different style of instruction. This can allow each student to learn material in a way they feel comfortable. Teachers must find a medium between an overal structured lesson and individual instruction. Reading this chapter also gave some insight to real world situations where this form of instruction can help.

Reflection:

A common issue with this chapter was knowing exactly where the line is between differentiation and what may be seen as privelaged instruction. It is difficult to determine how to deal with other students and parents who may wonder why certain students get different instruction. It would be important to be able to support our techniques.
