  1. DIFFERENTIATING INSTRUCTION

  2. Differentiating Instruction • creating multiple paths so that students of different abilities, interest or learning needs experience equally appropriate ways to absorb, use, develop and present concepts as a part of the daily learning process. • allows students to take greater responsibility and ownership for their own learning, and provides opportunities for peer teaching and cooperative learning.

  3. Four Ways to Differentiate Instruction: • Differentiating the Content/Topic • Differentiating the Process/Activities • Differentiating the Product • Differentiating By Manipulating The Environment or Through Accommodating Individual Learning Styles

  4. Strategies • Readiness/ability • Adjusting questions • Compacting curriculum • Acceleration/deceleration • Flexible grouping • Peer teaching • Learning profile/styles • Student interest

  5. Strategies • Buddy-studies • Independent study projects • Anchoring activities

  6. Examples: Special Needs Student • Provide additional templates, manipulatives, and scaffolds Gifted/Talented Student • Have the student create a board game that involves math-related terminology and problem solving • Have the student create a test or quiz for the class that is related to fractions

  7. Examples: Nonnative Speaker • Write simplified explanations of the student’s real-world fraction problem • Add math pictures and explanations to the student’s card file of vocabulary words

  8. Examples: Resource Student • Make modifications as dictated in the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP)  • Use cooperative grouping  • Present instructions in a variety of ways  • Break down tasks into component parts  • Allow extra time for completing assignments  • Use assistance from a parent, volunteer, or teacher’s aide  • Provide teacher-created templates and graphic organizers  • Provide positive reinforcement for each accomplished benchmark

  9. Examples: Gifted Student • Provide individual research projects  • Have the student plan and organize a simple machines display • Provide extension activities, such as visiting Leonardo's Mystery Machines* where the student can observe a diagram of a machine and identify its purpose • Have the student visit Rube Goldberg's Gallery* and describe the sequence of the diagram and then invent a Rube Goldberg machine • Ask the student to identify the different machines that would help solve the dilemma in Project Treehouse*
