- 3. Follow Up – Session I Foundations and Applications of Differentiating Instruction: Competencies Four and Five S1 - One new thing I learned was the formal definition of differentiation. It feels to me that everyone has their own definition of differentiation. Although all of these definitions may have a common denominator, this becomes a problem with the implementation. I plan to use this information when planning activities in the classroom. This will help me keep the learner in mind. One of the many questions I have is how grading by learning goals work in the classroom. I can see how it works with informal assessments but how does it work with other types of assessments. I can learn more from my colleagues and reading about it. One thing I learned in our first session is the importance of differentiated instruction. Sometimes, as a teacher, we can confuse lack of interest from our students as a sign of not wanting to learn; when in fact it might just be that they do not understand what we are teaching them. Having a full understanding of the definition of differentiated instruction and how to implement it in our classroom will certainly make us more efficient teachers. I plan to use this in my classroom when planning and teaching my lessons. Questions I might have: Can we learn how to use differentiated instruction in a way that the students do not feel "singled out"? I can certainly learn better if I see lessons being modeled.

Notes de l'éditeur
- We never know which students we’re going to get.
- Share blog reflection from session 1
- Read story aloud to whole group, each participant will respond to the questions individually. In small groups make connections to your school and share your insights and responses. How does this story support or contradict differentiation as you know and understand it? Us Animal School Handout
- Who are you when you consider teaching and interacting with your students. What do your students think of you in regards to these statements Whichever one you believe speaks to who you are as a teacher Individually review each of these statements and decide what you believe: What does your belief say about your teaching? Complete the checklist about beliefs, keep confidential. Use the responses to guide your learning throughout the course. Where are you? How do your beliefs impact your teaching? What, if any, adjustments can be made to further grow your instructional practice? Use Belief Statement Handout
- Note to facilitator: In order to prepare for a discussion of content, read pages 72-78 of How to Differentiate Instruction in the Mixed-ability Classroom by Tomlinson. Pay particular attention to the various instructional practices for differentiating content such as concept-based teaching, curriculum compacting, using varied text and resource materials, focus lessons, and varied support systems.
- Remind participants that student engagement is a powerful motivator. Interest and choice are two key factors that lead to student engagement. Use of informal interest inventories or other teacher created inventories can provide important information on student interest.
- You may wish to mention that teachers use formal and informal assessment to gauge and determine readiness. Also remind participants that teacher observation is important in determining readiness.
- Remind participants that learning style (auditory, visual or kinesthetic), intelligence preference, gender, and culture can influence learning profile. Some teachers have students take multiple intelligence tests or learning styles tests. You may wish to share any personal experiences with multiple intelligence test or learning styles tests.
- Administer Learning Style Inventory
- Content: Materials Process: Activities Product: Assessments You may wish to have participants view the handout as you move from slide to slide. Be aware that you may get questions about some of the instructional strategies (practices) that are not familiar to participants e.g. 4MAT and orbitals. In Tomlinson’s book, “How to Differentiate Instruction in Mixed-Ability Classrooms” page 64 you can find the definition for 4MAT. Information about orbitals can be found on page 58.
- Share Slide S1-23 and discuss with participants. Refer participants to Handout S1-10.
- 2. Explain directions as shown on Slide S1-24. Have materials available from different content areas so that participants have a choice for this activity.
- Share Slide S1-25 and discuss with participants. Refer participants to Handout S1-10.
- Some students don’t have a solid foundation. They need groundwork laid—background knowledge supplied, and a blueprint for the construction of their understanding.
- Some students are works in process—they have most of the pieces, but they need supports along the way. They know how to read, but they need help with critical thinking skills. Graphic organizers, non-linguistic representations, and discussions will provide help that will enable them to construct their knowledge.
- Other students need us to get out of their way. With your more able learners, they should have opportunities to compact information, and if they know it they should be researching so whats—if that’s true, than what else is true. It’s a waste of time for them to skill and drill, or to have to relearn the same concept they got the first time. They should be extending their learning.
- Explain directions as shown on Slide S1-26. Have materials available from different content areas so that participants have a choice for this activity.
- Share Slide S1-27 and discuss with participants. Refer participants to Handout S1-11.
- How do you know what they learned? It could be a test, but it could be a report, or a presentation, or a non-linguistic representation, or further research. It doesn’t have to look the same for all students, and all learners.
- Explain directions as shown on Slide S1-28. Have materials available from different content areas so that participants have a choice for this activity.
- We all have different things that will draw our attention and we would like to learn more about, the content of what we would like to learn may vary. For example: some of us like chocolate,
- Some are drawn to sports and sporting events
- Some us us are utterly inspired by cold hard cash---So one thing we can differentiate is content. For example, teaching about the Harlem Renaissance. You can have some students study about baseball and the Negro Leagues, some could study the art of the time period, some the literature, some the music. They can all present the information, and you have a deeper understanding created through student interest.
- Share with participants the different types of grouping patterns.
