[MOSAIC] differentiated stations
I currently teach third grade and we use Houghton Mifflin-supposedly with fidelty. That said, we are supposed to be tiering our stations and I am really not sure what this is supposed to look like. We have been reamed by the AP because our benchmarks scores don't match our report card grades.

Re: [MOSAIC] differentiated stations
Bev's comment - It's a heartbreaking time to be in education where we have to make sure we tell our children UNIFORMLY that they are failing. I currently teach third grade and we use Houghton Mifflin-supposedly with fidelty. That said, we are supposed to be tiering our stations and I am really not sure what this is supposed to look like. We have been reamed by the AP because our benchmarks scores don't match our report card grades. Now I am supposed to be tiering all the stations-but then she isn't going to like the grades again, because some students will have modified assignments.
