- Differentiating instruction involves adapting to the variance among students in the classroom.
- Instruction should be tailored to a single student or a small group to optimize learning.
What to Differentiate?
- In a differentiated classroom, commonalities and student uniqueness become elements of teaching.
- Differentiate at least four elements:
- Content (what students need to learn, how info is accessed)
- Process (teaching methods and activities to make sense of the content)
- Products (culminating projects to rehearse, apply, extend learned content)
- Learning environment (classroom dynamics and vibe)
Differentiated Instruction Strategies
- A variety of methods are available for differentiating instruction, including:
- Creating learning stations
- Using task cards
- Interviewing students
- Targeting different senses in lessons
- Sharing strengths and weaknesses
- Using Think-Pair-Share
- Creating time for journaling
- Implementing reflection and goal-setting exercises
- Utilizing literature circles
- Offering different types of free study time
- Grouping students with similar learning styles
- Providing different reading comprehension activities
- Assigning open-ended projects
- Encouraging student-proposed project ideas
- Regularly analyzing differentiated instruction strategies
- "Teach Up"
Effective Learning
- Effective lessons have clear objectives, easy-to-follow directions, and are engaging and interesting.
- They build upon students' prior knowledge and foster student interaction, critical thinking, question-asking, and the development of new skills and values, encouraging and celebrating diversity.

Characteristics of an Effective Lesson

- Effective learning prioritizes comprehension, intelligence, persistence, and quality.
- It creates a welcoming, accommodating environment that provides tools and resources, integrating research-based lessons.
