Chapter 10 FIAE: Conditions for Redoing Work for Full Credit

This chapter talks about differentiated classrooms, and “allowing students to redo work and assessments for full credit” (131). One thing that really stood out to me was that the book says that we should treat the students in our class as adults. That when they slip and completely forget to do something, to tell them that that’s fine and to just get it to us at…, and give a day to them. This stands out to me, not because I think it’s wrong, but because, until I came to college, I have never seen this happen in a middle or high school classroom. It also may be because I never was in this situation, and still have never been in this situation. However, I really hope that this book isn’t just full of it, and that there are teachers out there doing this for their students. Because, like the book says, everybody slips up sometimes. One thing I really liked from this chapter, and will use in the classroom is that we should not allow students to turn in any redone work a week before the grading period. This forces the students to manage their time properly, and if they really want that improved grade, then they will get it done in the allotted time period.
