33. What is DI? • Differentiated instruction is creating a classroom where teachers respond to differences in learning styles and different levels of prior knowledge of students. • It give students options and flexibility that promotes constant learning and keeps students engaged.

34. What is DI?

35. Data Driven DI • Data driven differentiated instruction. • Remediation of problem benchmarks • Bell ringers • Review and Exit Slips • Home learning • Student grouping • Using data to determine prior knowledge • IA’s as pre assessment • Student grouping

36. DI by student choice • Differentiated instruction by student choice: • Creating assignments and assessments that gives students a choice or range of options that allow them to chose what they want to do. • Think-Tac-Toes

37. Think-Tac-Toe

38. Exit Slip • What items in the professional development session were useful to your instructional practice? • What information would you like to see in future professional development? • How could this professional development be modified to address your specific needs? • Additional question(s) or comment(s) Please leave your reflections on the table Department of Mathematics and Science
