Rick Wormeli tackles the difficult subject of assessing and grading students in differentiated classrooms. The book is organized into four sections (Differentiation & Mastery, Assessment, Grading, and Implementation & the Big Picture) and sixteen chapters. In addition to a table of contents, there is a glossary of important terms, bibliography, and a subject/title/author index.
6th grade teachers, Brandy, and Megan are going to read Rick Wormeli’s, Fair Isn’t Always Equal. We started on September 11, 2007. Some of us are meeting face to face and some are participating using this new, fancy, high-tech medium. You don’t have to be a member of the initial group to chime in. Anybody, please feel free to study along with us and add comments.
Well, we had our first meeting of the face to face participants. We had a great discussion. Our next face to face meeting is scheduled for September 27, 9:15, in Judy Cramer’s room, 212. We’re going to read chapters 3 & 4 in preparation for that discussion. Please comment on the chapters 1 & 2 when responding to this entry. I’ll write another post for responses to chapters 3 & 4.
