RR19: IDENTIFY strategies to differentiate assessment.
Differentiation in assessment are endless, here are a few that I favor:
-Using ELD standards to change the expectations of literacy assessments for ELD students (differentiation on how I grade assessments)
-Allow students with motor control IEPs to do a skills performance in a closed environment rather than an open environment.
-Having the choice of multiple intelligence. Instead of assigning one assessment pattern students have to complete, give them choice. Have a variety of choices to present to students. They could have a list to demonstrate learning in a song, an art project, and essay, or a movie. Let the students use an assessment that compliments their learning styles of being auditory, kinestetic, visual etc. (This differentiation has captured my greatest interest)
-Allow assessments to be taken in groups so students have to discuss and agree on material that is being presented.
-Break assessments into smaller more manageable parts.
Here is an excellent example if differentiation for dance using different learning types/multiple intelligence:
