Differentiated Instruction • Is for all students • Make sure to let parents know how the classroom may be run • Allow for time to interact in groups and individualized • I believe that DI can be individualized as well • Keeping students interested and engaged with different methods of learning similar topics
Con’t • Implementing more Nonlinguistic Representations in my class • Allowing students to be involved in feedback process
DI is for all students. Some people believe that it labels kids and parents do not want their child performing in it. • I have had to talk with a parent about what this really was. Her child needed DI and she did not understand why. Once she realized that it was helping her child she was for it. • It is important to let parents know about a teachers way of teaching students.
I believe that it is important for cooperative groups and individualized groups. • Teaching first grade I thought groups would be fun and engaging. • I have had a hard time with my students getting along in groups. It has been a surprise for me at such a small age. They have even been with different people and still not got along. So groups is hard to do in my room. I am still trying to do them it is just more of a challenge.
I do a lot of interactive things with centers and some of the centers are grouped during reading time. • I also have individualized centers that work well. • I have used think pair share and it has worked really well in my class
Nonlinguistic Models • A model I would like to use more is a graphic organizer. It is really important for students to be familiar with them and I do not feel that I use them enough. We are starting to get into more subjects that I can use them in. A couple are cause and effect, and fact/opinion.
Feedback Process • I try to give feedback on most all student papers but I do not do it in a quick enough manner. • I am going to try to work on meeting with students on a one-to one basis more often. • I am hoping that this will help them to give me feedback on how they think they may need to improve in. What would they like to improve more in?
Conclusion • In conclusion DI is a very hot topic for all educators and whether or not some believe it is good or not all students should be given the opportunity to try new learning strategies.
