Case: Inclusion Class Writing Assessments
I have taught inclusion classes the past two years. I teach 10th grade literature, which comes with lots of reading and writing. I find it difficult to grade my inclusion students on writing, because some of their IEPs state that they should not be graded on grammar or spelling. What if grammar is what I'm grading for? How do I grade these students? Many of our rubrics for writing include a section on conventions. I usually take that section out for them, but I struggle with the fairness of that. I have other students who struggle just as much with grammar and spelling, who don't have IEPs.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe you could set specific goals for these students and modify the rubric. For example, if you have a student who is consistently not using capital letters at the start of sentences, you could establish a goal for him or her and add this goal to the rubric. For example, "Student has no more than two errors in capitalization of beginning of sentences." Maybe starting small can be a way to hold students accountable while still meeting their needs. To meet the IEP, don't include this in the actual grade, but make it a personal goal for the student and reward and recognize this goal in some way. |

Comments: I like the idea of setting personal goals for students with IEP that will encourage them to work toward something, rather than neglecting the skill because it is not required. Great suggestion |

Comments: Modifying the rubric is a great way to differentiate instruction for these students and you will still be able to grade them on grammar. |

Comments: I think that setting small goals is a great idea. It will not only improve their grammar, but also create a fair grading scale for all students. |
