FIAE Chapter 14

Most teachers tend to get bogged down in the differentiated instruction model when it comes to report cards. We all want to follow this but it is difficult to represent what students know in a simple form. Report cards and progress reports need to somehow reflect that the students may have been taught differently. Simply saying that the grade reflects differentiated instruction should not cause negative thoughts about the student's grade. This is something that I am personally scared of even though I probably would not admit it in person. With the competitiveness of students and parents I think that they are still going to want a simplified version of how their student is doing.
