Guskey, University of Kentucky How can you ensure that you are grading your exceptional students fairly? Teachers receive very little guidance for grading students with disabilities, English learners, and those receiving services through a response-to-intervention (RTI) process. This practitioner-friendly book provides teachers and administrators with an effective framework for assigning grades that are accurate, meaningful, and legally defensible. The authors' easy-to-follow, fi ve-step standards- based inclusive grading model helps teachers: determine appropriate expectations for each student; understand the differences between accommodations and modifi cations; grade based on modifi ed expectations; and communicate the meaning of grades to students and their families.
