Brain ResearchConfirms what teachers have always known:
No two children are alike. No two children learn in the identical way. An enriched environment for one student is
not necessarily enriched for another. In the classroom we should teach children
to think for themselves.
--Marian Diamond

Differentiation
IS NOT Tracking A New Strategy Static Teaching to the
Middle Synonymous
with Individualization
IS
Flexible Grouping Student Centered Based on Readiness For all Learners Changing all the Time Meeting Personal
Needs

When considering differentiating, all of the ELEMENTS must be considered and addressed.

Climate
Effective teachers believe that all children can learn and be successful.
Effective teachers create a climate where all students feel included.
Effective teachers feel that there is potential in each learner and commit to finding the key that will unlock that potential.
![Page 14: Meeting the Needs of all Learners Dr. Elana Milstein.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051210/55164937550346c6758b56de/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Knowing the Learner We need to know the learner so that
we can make sure that the curriculum fits.
We need to know how students access, process, and express information- We need to know their learning
styles. We need to know their thinking
styles.
![Page 15: Meeting the Needs of all Learners Dr. Elana Milstein.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051210/55164937550346c6758b56de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Assessing the Learner
Just as one size of learning doesn’t fit all, one size of assessment doesn’t suit either.
We need to pre-assess the learner so that we can find out what they already know.
We need to assess during the learning- use ongoing assessments.
We need to assess after the learning.

Adjustable Assignments Allow teachers to help students focus
on essential skills and understanding key concepts, recognizing that they may be at different levels of readiness.
Students have the opportunity to develop essential skills and understanding at his or her appropriate level of challenge.

Instructional Strategies
Teachers who use a variety of instructional strategies add novelty, choice, and individuality to learning.
As teachers build their repertoire of instructional strategies, they will see how they can adjust the learning for a group of learners and how different strategies appeal to different learners.

A New Direction
“Teachers guide students down many paths to a common
destination”
Mary Anne Hess

“If children can’t learn the way we teach, we should teach them
the way they learn”.

“Differentiated instruction means shaking up what goes on in the classroom so that students have multiple options for taking in information,
making sense of ideas, and expressing what they learn”.
Carol Ann Tomlinson

Differentiated Classroom: What is it?
“Differentiated instruction is not a strategy to be used from time to
time, not a bag of tricks approach .
It’s a way of thinking about teaching and learning”.
