CHAPTER 11: DIFFERENTIATING FOR SUCCESS

WHAT IS DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION BASED ON?

• That all students learn the same way

• That all students learn in different ways

• All students don't like learning

• Teachers don't need to teach in different ways

DIFFERENTIATED LEARNING HELPS STUDENTS

• Take in information

• Make sense of new ideas

• Express what they learn

• Have better social skills

WHICH IS NOT A WAY TO DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION?

• Differentiating the Content

• Differentiating the Process

• Differentiating the Product

WHAT ARE SOME WAYS WE DISCUSSED TO GROUP FOR INSTRUCTION?

• Whole Class Activities

• Boring Activities

• Small Group Activities

• Individual Activities

WHEN A STUDENT CAN'T NAME LETTERS OR MATCH UPPER AND LOWERCASE LETTERS YOU SHOULD...

• Have the student sort upper- and lowercase letters

• Teach the student to use the ABC song to identify letters

• Provide an alphabet chart to identify matching letters.

• All of the above.

STUDENTS WITH DECODING DIFFICULTIES WOULD BENEFIT MOST FROM…

• A word wall

• Challenging text

• Reading aloud

• Notes on a graphic organizer

WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR A STUDENT THAT CAN'T TAKE NOTES?

• Have students pair up and take notes together. Make a copy so each student has their own.

• Tell them to write down everything they hear.

• Tell them to only write what they don’t know.

• Tell them to just listen really well- forget the notes.
