Differentiated Instruction

An example of differentiated instruction is...

• 25 different math lessons for 25 students 
• Struggling learners watch while others do
• adapt your lesson to multiple learning styles
• adapt your lesson towards the average learners in your class

Differentiated instruction is for....

• Only students with IEP's
• Everyone in the classroom
• Only advanced learners
• Teachers who have extra time to plan

Which one is NOT required for differentiation to be in place?

• Routines
• Student data
• Organized classrooms
• Multiple lessons daily

While differentiating, assessments should be given....

• Everyday
• At the beginning of the unit and periodically after that 
• At the end of the unit 
• Never

Differentiated instruction is NOT....

• Everyone reads a book and writes a report.
• Improvising to meet the needs of each individual.
• Teaching through song
• Having accountable talk during a lesson

Differentiated instruction does NOT include

• Meeting with each student individually daily
• Small instructional groups
• Whole group instruction
• Peer teaching

Which subjects can be differentiated?

• Physical Education
• Art
• Social Studies
• All subjects

When differentiating your lessons a teacher should...

• Know his/her students’ learning styles
• Use same lesson plans year after year
• Use a wide range of materials
• Both A and C 

Ways to differentiate a book report are:

• Have students write 2 pages instead of 1
• Let students make a song/rap to explain the book
• Let students present the book in through a play
• Answers B and C

Teachers are like jazz musicians in that:

• All of the below ;-)
• They improvise
• They think inside and outside of the box
• They must practice in order to master their craft
