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:

I enjoyed the course because grades are emphasized so much.

Whoo. This presentation represented a regurgitation of old ideas with almost no practical suggestions for how those ideas may be implemented in actual classrooms. The presenters expected the participants to provide practical examples, which is not what participants come to this kind of presentation for — that is for a roundtable, not a presentation. Not good.

I think the content was great and would love to get more details on making this work in a math classroom specifically. I do think for the online course though there were a lot of reflective questions that in person they were able to collaborate whereas I was not making it more difficult and not as enjoyable as the other courses I’ve taken on here.
