Journey
The bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you refuse
to take the turn.

Consider the 3 questions guiding professional development
What are students learning?
ContentHow do you know they are learning?
Formative AssessmentWhat are we doing for those who struggle, those who excel, and those in the middle?

“There is nothing more unequal than the equal
treatment of unequal people.”
Thomas Jefferson

What is differentiation?
![Page 7: Destination: Differentiation (D 2 ) Susan Wouters Extended Learning Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032601/56649dd15503460f94ac7ca7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Differentiation is …
“…shaking up what goes on in the classroom so it’s a better fit for everyone. It is not a pedagogical ‘bag of tricks.’ It is a way of thinking about teaching and learning.”
Carol Tomlinson
![Page 8: Destination: Differentiation (D 2 ) Susan Wouters Extended Learning Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032601/56649dd15503460f94ac7ca7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Differentiation is …
Differentiated instruction specificallyresponds to students’ progress on the learning continuum - what they alreadyknow and what they need to learn.
Diane Heacox

Differentiation means
starting where the kids are!
- Carol Ann Tomlinson

What is Differentiated Instruction?
Differentiated instruction is:Proactive
Qualitative
Rooted in assessment
Multiple approaches to content, process, and product
Student centered
Blend of whole class, group, and individual instruction
“Organic” - instruction is dynamic
![Page 11: Destination: Differentiation (D 2 ) Susan Wouters Extended Learning Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032601/56649dd15503460f94ac7ca7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What Differentiated Instruction is NOT
Differentiated instruction is not:individualized instruction
chaotic
another way of homogeneous grouping
“tailoring the same suit of clothes”
every subject, every student, every day!

“Not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or equal motivation; but children have the equal right to develop their talent,
their ability, and their motivation.”

Differentiation begins with you thinking & planning differently.
Consider modifying:

When thinking differently about learners, consider …
Readiness– Information, concepts, and skills students
demonstrate at entry point of learning experience
Interests– Topics, problems, and processes of personal
relevance to students (passion learning)
Learning Profile– Combination of students’ emotions, cultures,
modality preferences, and intelligences that affect learning

Differentiated Instruction is …
Rigorous - Provide challenging instruction to motivate students to push themselves. The bar is set to balance effort and success.Relevant - Focus on essential learning. Not more of the same but challenging problems.Flexible and varied - Not “one size fits all” but designed to best meet the learners’ needs.Complex - Challenge students’ thinking and actively engage students in content that conveys depth and breadth.

Increase in individual alternatives:– Centers– Homework– Contracts

To Differentiate a Lesson
Consider Adjusting These Curriculum:– Objective (vary the depth or breadth).– Introduction (use community resources, graphic organizers, or
pretesting: demonstrate relevance; add intriguing twist).– Grouping ( involve individuals, pairs, small groups, choose
homogeneous or heterogeneous groups).– Instruction (vary the teaching methods; use inductive, deductive,
or hands-on strategies; alter the pace).– Learning Activities (choose from concrete to abstract, visual to
tactile).– Resources (vary in depth, complexity, format, or nature).– Products (assign or create options, alternatives, or open-ended
formats).

not to advance is to drop back. ~ Chinese Proverb

There is no one “right way”
to create an effectively
differentiated classroom:
teachers craft responsive
learning places in ways that
are a good match for their
teaching styles as well as for
learners’ needs.– Carol Ann Tomlinson
How do I begin?

There are many ways to go forward -
but only one way of standing still.
