Integrating Chapter 8:
Chapter 8: In this chapter grading accurately in a differentiated classroom is discussed. Students should be graded on their own achievements and learning and not to be compared with the rest of the class. The book mentions that students should e graded on achievement of goals, progression of goals and work habits. By grading progressively, a student can see their actual progress and know that they are learning the material correctly and in a timely fashion. I think this is important to let students know how they are doing as they work towards their final product so they are fully prepared and are not surprised. The book also advises teachers to stay away from grading averages and curves as this is not an accurate representation of how and what students have learned.
