Identify one or two ways you can, as Dr. Black says, “build a structure [in your classroom] that also has a level of flexibility.”
-
I can assess topics by offering different options: paper tests or project.
-
I will give the parameters of a project, and give my students various ways to fulfill the assignment. For example, a video or presentation, or live performance, etc.
-
Perhaps a good way would be a road map with a goal and milestones along the way. This would make a personal path for each student with accomplishments along the way. However, as a class we still move forward. Some would be left behind, but their support structure would gain strength.
-
I love when teachers include differential learning in their classrooms. Instead of every assessment being paper/pencil it is good to switch it up to project based.
-
I could allow options or choices on assessments. For example, allow students to choose a certain number of problems that cover a particular method of solving, but let them actually choose which ones they will complete. For example if the objective is solving systems of equations, let students choose which problems they will solve by using the substitution method, which by using elimination method and so on.
