What is Differentiated Instruction? It’s consistently and proactively creating different pathways to help all your students to be successful. ~Betty Hollas
MOST Important Word Differentiating Instruction is doing what’s fair for students. It’s a collection of best practices strategically employed to maximize students’ learning at every turn, including giving them the tools to handle anything that is undifferentiated. It requires us to do different things for different students some, or a lot of the time. It’s whatever works to advance the student. It’s highly effective teaching! Wormeli, R., 2005
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~Albert Einstein Mike Mattos (2009) web.mac.com/mikemattos

Storytelling • Stories provide a script for us to tie information to our memory. (Markowitz & Jensen, 1999) • Storytelling is a wonderful way to access more than one memory lane. Putting semantic information into a story format allows a student to see not only the whole idea but the details as well since the brain processes both wholes and parts at the same time. (Caine & Caine, 1997) Marcia Tate (2003)

Mnemonic Devices • Mnemonics create links or associations between new information the brain is receiving and information already stored in long-term memory. (Wolfe, 2001) • Mnemonics help activate the creation of stronger neuro-links in the hippocampus, which are essential to short- and long-term memory. (Jensen, 2001)

Movement • Movement involves more of a student’s brain than does seatwork since movement accesses multiple memory systems. (Jensen, 2001) • Having students stand up, walk, jump, and clap as they review, understand, or master material will strengthen their procedural memories. (Sprenger, 1999)
