This discussion group was created as a follow-up to a two-day conference given by Rick Wormeli on Differentiated Instruction and Assessment. It provides a place to continue to discuss his ideas and how they apply to our own practice, to our schools, and to education in general. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you attended the conference. Rick's books, Differentiation and Fair Is Not Always Equal (published by Stenhouse and available at http://www.nelms.org/bookstore.html) are excellent resources for this discussion.

Liz, you used a very reasonable approach. In my opinion, as you continue to honor the readiness of your students and coach them to always give their best, they will value it and probably not take advantage of the situation. If you detect anyone taking advantage, a private conversation might be in order. They will soon see that the purpose of the quiz is to assess their ability to master the content/skills and not to 'catch' them for not studying. The quiz grade certainly has more meaning and is a true reflection of a student's mastery.
