While reading this chapter I started thinking about the grading scale that Baldwin County has adopted for it's schools and I am not sure how this is really helping with differentiation, even though some claim that it is. They also use a rubric when writing the assessments that have basic, advanced, and connecting questions, but I don't really see how this is effective either, seeing as how some students miss all of the basic questions and then get the advanced and connection questions right. I have found myself questioning a lot of the reasons being this type of assessing and I truly feel that there is a better way, won't say I know what that way is, but I will say that there has to be better.
Within my grade level we assess, then all of the children that scored 2.0 and below are pooled together and they have "remediation," which usually consists of the same exact style of teaching the concept that was done the first time around...........NOT WORKING, just to let you know. The different types of learning styles are not being considered and differentiation is not happening, but hey, "we gave them a second chance" right?
All I can do is learn from it and be able to say one day, this is why this does not work.
