When entering grades in the gradebook that count toward semester average on report cards, should the differentiated instruction be graded and entered? Or should that only be used for instruction and assessments entered in the gradebook be consistent between all students?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 16, 2015 2:08 pm jyteXa Reps: 105 I feel that it should, in most cases. Differentiating assessments still allows us to see what all students have learned. The assessment was simply written on their ability level. However, not every activity I do in my classroom is graded. It is according to what we are working on.

Differentiated Instruction grades are definitely necessary to show growth. I would grade them. Differentiated Instruction may benefit all students. Scaffolding assignments and using stations is a great way for students to do the same thing at different levels and times, but still receive a quality grade for them.

The students are completing work on their level of understanding and are learning the same material just on a different level.

It should be whichever helps the child the most.

Differentiated instruction is a viable tool that allows teachers to help their students learn content, if blended with today's standards each student will not only flourish in the classroom but will excel.

It is simply a way to measure student progress and monitor their progress.

Not every student is the same, therefore they should not be graded the same way. Same material, different methods of delivering it.
