  Case: Differentiation
We differentiate assignments and assessments that we give to students. However, when state mandated tests are given all students take the same test that asks them the same questions. This is not differentiation. If we are to differentiate to meet needs of students, why aren't standardized tests differentiated as well?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think the important thing to remember about differentiation is that we are using it as a tool to help students "reach the finish line". Differentiation is a way to meet students where they are and help them to meet the expectations we have for every student; it focuses on the process.

Comments: The way I see it is that if the students can measure up to the standard it should not matter in which way the assessment is given to them.
