  Case: Differentiated Instruction and Grading
I find that differentiated instruction is more beneficial in my classroom and most manageable with the inclusion students. 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?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Grading assignments is helpful to see growth and show whats going 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.

Comments: I agree they should be graded and recorded. This is showing growth for the student on a level they are capable of understanding. Differentiated learning is an essential tool for teachers to use and should be taken into account on report cards.
