SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Differentiated instruction is a nice idea, but what's both fair and leads to real student learning? Fair Isn't Always Equal answers this question and much more. Rick Wormeli offers the latest research and common sense thinking that teachers and administrators seek when it comes to assessment and grading in differentiated classes. With real examples and "gray" areas that educators will easily recognize, Rick tackles important, sometimes controversial assessment and grading issues constructively.
