Students learn best when instruction is: Appropriately Challenging Kids (and adults!) Based on Real-World Problems and Situations Students need to understand how the skills and concepts they are learning fit into their lives. Purposeful You (and your students) should be able to explain the purpose of each activity or assignments.

The Best Resources On Differentiating Instruction My colleague Katie Hull-Sypnieski is leading a February 1st Education Week Webinar on differentiating instruction, and I would strongly encourage people to participate. Katie’s the best teacher I’ve ever seen…. In addition, Katie and I have co-authored a piece for Education Week Teacher on the topic that will be appearing there soon (it’s appeared: The Five By Five Approach To Differentiation Success), and an upcoming post in my blog there will be talking about it, too (that two part series has also appeared). Also, check out The Best “Fair Isn’t Equal” Visualizations. Given all that, a “The Best…” post was inevitable, and here it is. Here are my choices for The Best Resources On Differentiating Instruction: The Best Places To Get The “Same” Text Written For Different “Levels” Busting Myths about Differentiated Instruction is by Rick Wormeli. Reconcilable Differences? Deciding to Teach Them All is by Carol Ann Tomlinson. Here’s a slide from a Rick Wormeli presentation: Related January 11, 2015
Podcast Reflection #12: Applying Differentiation Strategies In this podcast, provided by Teacher Created Materials, Dede Dodds discusses the importance of differentiating curriculum and gives practical ideas and examples to help you apply differentiation strategies in your classroom. The needs for differentiating curriculum are well understood by many educators, I believe. To briefly summarize, today's classrooms are no longer represented by heterogeneous students. Dodds' discussion focuses on student ability levels. Tiered instruction is one of Dodds' favorite strategies for differentiation. The first step of tiered instruction is to get to know your students. For the students with lower ability level, think about ways to make activities simplified, narrowed, or less complex so that they can spent more time on each task. The philosophy behind differentiation is fairness.
