Principles of grading in differentiated classroom
5. Why do we grade?
Grades are used for a variety of reasons:
• An indicator of what a student knows and what they are
able to do.
• Grades used for motivation.
• Grades that are intended to document student progress,
provide feedback and inform instructional decisions are
more effective and useful in the long run.
6. Types of Traditional Grading
1. Percentage Grading – From 0 to 100.
2. Letter grading – From A Grade to F Grade.
3. Norm-referenced grading – Comparing students to each other usually letter
grades.
4. Mastery grading – Grading students as “masters” or “passers” when their
attainment reaches a prespecified level.
11. Need for a Modification
• Ornstein 1994 said on one hand, the public expects “normed” report
cards. On the other hand, ample of evidence indicates that
traditional grades may not communicate or motivate as we would
like to believe they do.
• It is a dilemma for teachers and schools who are still use a
traditional methods of grading system
• It is a time to move towards a change and practice differentiated
grading system to fulfil the individual needs of the students.
12. Grading System In a Differentiated
Classroom
• This grading system is based on individual goal setting and
progress in reaching those goals.
• The students will be graded against themselves rather than
in competition with each other.
• Students learn best from timely and specific feedback
during the process of learning.
• Students focus more on the learning and feedback, not the
grade.
13. Principles of grading in differentiated
classroom
Clearly communicates standards that are being used:
• The type of support that is needed
• Determine the appropriate expectation
• Use of appropriate assessment strategy
Accurate reporting:
• For progression
• For achievement on defined standards
• For effort

Portfolio assessment
CGS (Common Grading Scale):
The Dual Approach:
Communicating to parents:
15. Approaches in Grading Differentiated
Classroom
• Here are four approaches which can make the idea run successfully within the
classroom.
Portfolio Assessment:
• It is an alternative of classic test assessment
• The portfolio carries students work samples and growth over time.
• The student and teacher do this assessment together.
• In this type of assessment the quality that counts, no the quantity.
• The learners reflects on their on work.
• The portfolio assessment requires preparation in advance.
16. Portfolio Assessment: (examples)
Subject Examples
Science • Charts, graphs created
• Projects, examples, posters
• Lab reports• Research reports
• Tests
• Student reflections (either weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly)
Math • Samples of problem solving
• Written explanations of how to solve problems
• Charts, graphs
• Computer analyses conducted
English/Language
Arts
• Reading log
• Different types of writing( Poems Essays Letters Vocabulary
achievements• Tests• Book summaries/reports• Dramatizations, creative
endings to stories• Student reflections (either weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly)
19. Approaches in Grading Differentiated
Classroom
CGS (Common Grading Scale):
• Before that it was called common assessment scale.
• It is an alpha numeric marking scale like A1, A2, A3
• Its enables to provide more comprehensive data about student progress.
• For example, A1 means student working above grade level.
• A2 means working at grade level.
• And A3 means student working hard and progress well but not catching up the
grade level standards.
21. Approaches in Grading Differentiated
Classroom
The Dual Approach:
• Grading both for Personal Progress and achievement against term targets
• This method involves recording a symbol or mark indicating a student’s personal
progress as well as a symbol or mark indicating where the student stands against
the standards set for everyone.
• A student received a B on personal progress and a D when compared with the
rest of the class.
• In this it is important for teacher to make parents and students understand the
entire educational planning before hand.
22. The Dual Approach: (examples)
Support Needed Expectation Used Assessment Strategy Reporting Procedure
Student needs to complete social studies
assignment orally instead of in writing
Grade level criteria are used for all
assignments
The student completes the social studies
assignments orally, but the responses are
assessed and scored according to the
same criteria used for students who
completed the assignment in writing.
The student social studies grade is
reported without any change or notation
on the report card
Student is behind in reading fluency and
needs a lower level reading requirement
Team determines that reading at 80
words per minute on second grade
material rather than 150 words on fourth
grade is achievable and comparably
rigorous.
The student receives reading fluency
intervention and is assessed on words
per minute reading of 2nd grade level
The student’s reading fluency grade is
reported according to the modified
expectation and on asterisk or other
notation would added to the report card
to denote the grade was based on a
modified expectation.
School uses a 4 points scale, and student
achieved 80 words per minute by the
end of the term, the student would
receive a 4* on the report card.
23. Approaches in Grading Differentiated
Classroom
Communicating to parents:
• Frequently shared varied sort of information with parent on regular basis such as,
• Update on portfolio and personal growth
• Re-examine your Rubrics
• Share photographs of learner’s work
• Make phone calls at home
• Email students progress
• Parent education and partnership is important such instance.
25. Record Keeping in a Differentiated
Classroom
Gradebooks:
• All assignments are listed at the top and given a letter. Then all letter are placed
down the left column for each student, along the top, you break up all the key
components that make up your course.
• for example, in English you may break up your course or unit into: Nouns and
Pronouns, Modifiers, Verbs, Preposition, Conjunctions etc. Then, when you give an
assignment you can place a mark in many columns.
27. Record Keeping in a Differentiated
Classroom
Student work folders:
• It should contains record keeping forms, samples of student work,records of
conferences with the teacher, students goals that would keep teacher and
student both directive and focus towards the target.
• It is a most powerful tool to use during parent-teacher conference that focuses
the student growth.
29. Record Keeping in a Differentiated
Classroom
Activity/ Expense charts:
• These can be easily maintain by students even by the younger ones.
• The chart carries activities of weekly or daily basis.
• Students need to mark their achieved tasks, like reading progress record, hands
on activities record
• Helping students become effective record keepers also gives clarity towards
their goals assignments and progress.
31. Record Keeping in a Differentiated
Classroom
All the work has not to be graded formally:
• Sense making activities need not to be graded on daily basis. A well constructed
product or achievement of task can provide an adequate evidence that what
student know and learned.
• For example, an athlete may practice shooting 3 point baskets for many days.
Formal assessment of his progress and skill comes days or weeks later, when he
has chance to apply during the game what he learnt.
32. Record Keeping in a Differentiated
Classroom
Student-led parent conference:
• By involving student helps to develop sense of responsibility and a voice for their
work, what is working and what isn’t.
• Student can give input while setting goals according to his potential with you, to
keep track of his work and his growth according to it, more over he can
powerfully communicate the information to everyone which he is comfortable.
