Sharing Differentiation Suggestions Refining Collaboration Goals December 7, 2010
Goals – Long term • Consider what kinds of support differentiation suggestions offer • Select differentiation strategies well • Collaborate in ways that provide support for all students in math, particularly those who are struggling
Our measure of tonight’s progress towards those goals • You leave with at least one new idea for differentiating your teaching of features of polygons • You leave with a goal for collaboration that incorporates tonight’s reflection and discussion.
Thinking about Differentiation Suggestions: Do they…. • Lead to all students being challenged in ways that support their learning? • Keep the work intriguing? • Provide specific support? • Provide support for those struggling with language? • Provide more than merely “more of the same?” Are they viable options?
Task • Put post-its on the posters where they belong. • Do this for at least two post-its • When the signal is given, read over the post-its and identify one that may benefit your students who are struggling. • Use PINK post-its for suggestions you found in your curriculum • Use GREEN post-its for suggestions you came up with
Collaboration Goals • Consider and respond to question 1-3 on your worksheet: • Is my goal specific enough to be measured? How will I know I have achieved it? • Is it a goal that is mutually agreed upon… do I have buy-in from my collaborative partners? If not, how do I get it? • How will achieving the goal make a difference for student who are struggling in math? • Discuss your goal and responses to the questions with your table group • Revise your goal if necessary.
Log – first one due January 11 • Summary of the progress you have made • One artifact (e.g., collaborative plan, student work, meeting notes) representing progress • Indicate whether you are keeping the goal or modifying it • Turn in original goal and any changes (Next log: March 15, final summary May 3)
