- 1. “ It’s OK to get a ‘C’”—Differentiated Grading in the general education classroom Presenter: Baylor Del Rosario Based on the “Layering the Curriculum” work by Kathie Nunley

Notes de l'éditeur
- Example: Ask audience if they have ever taken college level English course beyond English 1A and 1B? Ask audience, “Is it typical/normal for everyone in the course to receive a letter grade ‘A’?” The point is not everyone deserves an “A”. The point is that students need to take responsibility for their learning? The point is teachers shouldn’t have to nag students to keep working—if we set up clear criteria for earing each grade, then our work is done!
- Comment: Not all 5 th graders are at grade-level for example. However, all of them (unless they are on the alternate curriculum—only 1%) are expected to take the CRTs so they need the basics at the very least. Another example (put on board for people to see) if we are working in Investigations and students are being taught “Arrays” for 18 x 14 (as shown in the teacher’s manual) we could present: A grade = Show latice array for 18x14, 20x10, and 5x2 B grade = Show lattice array for 20x10 and 5x2 C grade = Show lattice array for 5x2 (the best this kid can hope for on this assignment is a C and that is OK!).
- Comments: Teacher must make sure expectations for each assignment are clear to all students. Allow students to self-determine (with encouragement) their level of work. Less “teacher control” MORE “student control.” Provide the handout (take a math investigations lesson/literally a lesson that is taking place in the building and break up for people of paper). #4 HAS TO BE KID FRIENDLY. KIDS NEED TO KNOW/READ WHAT THEY ARE WORKING FOR.
- The very best part of layered curric. Is the one-on-one time you get with every student, everyday. You meet them face-to-face in their territory ( their desk, not yours) to build those wonderful relationships which drive us back to the classroom year after year. Layered Curric. Is student-centered. Most teacher evaluation check sheets are teacher-centered. Observers are trained to watch the actions of the teacher and who they start, sustain, and close the day’s lesson. It is a bit of challenge for them in a room where the students have the main role. Certainly, you will always be their coach, but learning is an active participation sport. No one wants to enjoy basketball by watching the coaches demonstrate the technique all day, everyday. They want to play. So do students. Set the boundaries, establish the goals, then give them the playing field.
