  1. Differentiating Can Be Easy Presented by: Irene Runco Brittany Libell Woodland Hills High School

  2. Differentiation is: • Varying instruction and assessment to accommodate differences in learning styles and skill levels.

  3. The 3 Learning Styles

  4. The 3 Learning Styles • Visual • Auditory • Tactile/Kinesthetic

  5. Visual • This is the student who needs to see examples on the board, on the overhead, or within a power point. • This student learns by reading notes. • This student will be able to remember what they have seen.

  6. Auditory • This is the student who needs to hear problems, definitions, and explanations. • This student learns by hearing and paraphrasing information. • This student will be able to remember what they have heard. • These students make use of acronyms.

  7. Tactile/Kinesthetic • This is the student who needs to move or touch during the learning process. • This student learns by taking notes, or using manipulatives in a lesson. • This student will be able to remember what they have written or what they have done. • They frequently doodle while taking notes, or will take a lot of notes. • They will move around as they talk or as they think—they fidget and often need breaks in order to move.

  8. Great, so how do I engage them?

  9. Visual learners • Present written notes and information. • Have the student read from the textbook—they need to read while the auditory will benefit from hearing the text. • When giving hand outs, make them as visually appealing as possible. • Encourage them to use highlighters to color main ideas. • Use of different colors of chalk, marker, etc. is very helpful to them

  10. Activities for Visual Learners

  11. Auditory Learners • Remember: only about 30 % of students are auditory learners, but they will remember 75% of what they hear. • This is the type of student who benefits from hearing other students read out loud. • This student will do better if he/she can do an oral presentation instead of written report. • This student will process information easily if flashcards of different colors for different types are used.

  12. Activities for Auditory Learners Caution: too much noise/ silence can easily distract

  13. Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners • Can remember what they do, what they experience with their hands • Have good motor coordination • Enjoy making and creating • Will take notes to keep busy and on track. • Enjoy using computers • Remember things if they can move around while learning… might pace while trying to review.

  14. Activities for Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners

  15. So now that I’ve taught them, how do I assess what they know? What do you do that works well with various learning styles ? Time to share

  16. Building Your Own Activities • Chinese menu • Chair Hop • Card Sorting • Skills Scavenger Hunt
