A Little Background...
Here's my question...
Is it "fair" to make everyone complete the SAME assignment, even though each student in my class has different talents and needs. In Jasmine's case, the answer is an obvious "Of course not"; but now switch the scenario a bit. What if a student struggles with an academic area? What if that student is not able to show their understanding of the topic in the same way as the rest of the class. Should I "excuse" that student from the assignment or worse; force that student to do his/her "best"? Or should I allow that student to show what he/she knows in a way that works best for him/her? Maybe the struggling student can create a poster with only images and then has to verbally explain his/her thinking to me? Is that not giving the struggling student the same opportunity as Jasmine? Should I treat all my students "equally" or with "fairness"?
