What is Differentiated Instruction?
• A flexible approach to teaching in which the teacher plans and carries out varied approaches to content, process, and product in anticipation of and in response to student differences in readiness, interests, and learning needs.
In short…– Moving away from “single sized” education
– Forming the curriculum to meet the needs of individual children instead of forcing all children to fit
the same mold.

Differentiated InstructionIS NOT…
• The rebirth of individualized instruction (a different method for all 30 of your students)
• Complete chaos, willy-nilly rules, lack of discipline, feel-good praise for undeserving work
• Tracking or another way to group homogeneously
• Cutting the assignment in half for some, and adding problems to the assignment for others.

Why differentiate? Isn’t it just for special needs
students?
No!
Differentiating curriculum benefits all students!
“…EVERY student has special needs at some time (or many times) in a school day, a school year, and
a school life.” (Wormeli, 2007)
No!

Where did differentiation come from?
• One room school houses were early examples of differentiation! Multiple grade levels, vastly different needs and one teacher!
• D.I. is based on brain research about memory processing, DI is influenced by…– Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory.– Gregoric’s Thinking Styles– Kolb’s Learning Styles Model– Bloom’s Taxonomy
![Page 6: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. Students have a common learning goal, but everything else about the learning process (time, materials, methods, grouping, assessments) is flexible.
2. Differentiation is based on effective and ongoing assessment of learner needs. Assessment is defined broadly as anything that provides feedback and understanding about each student’s learning needs and interests.
3. Flexible grouping in a differentiated classroom is used consistently and purposefully.
4. The goal is to make sure each student feels challenged most of the time.

these students?
How do I manage a classroom with a wide range of readiness levels, learning
styles and interests?
What have the students learned?
How do I manage student data?
What patterns do the data show?
How do I align curriculum with assessments?

Differentiation misUnderstandings
NOT• oppositional to traditional instructional practices
• student free-for-all, lack of structure, chaotic
• competing with state standards
• IEP’s

Dividing strategies
![Page 11: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Assessment Acronym A- Analyze individual strengths and needsS- Strategically plan for each learner to improve and
excelS- Set new ObjectivesE- Explore abilitiesS- Supply assistance and appropriate materialsS- Stress growthM- Monitor for immediate interventionE- Empower with self-directed assessment strategiesN- Nurture and support effortsT- Translate needs and strengths into active learning
![Page 12: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is assessment in DI terms?
• Used to gauge individual learning• An ongoing process that occurs before,
during and after instruction• Identifies a learners needs and strengths• Assessment is not the “gotcha” unit test to
see if they studied.
When planning assessment in your classroom keep the following acronym in mind…
![Page 13: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What about when the people say, “We are not preparing them for the
real world!”• Differentiated instruction (done right)…– Guides students to think on their own– Helps students accept significant
responsibility for learning– Develop a sense of pride in what they do– Makes learners an active participant in their
evaluations– Prepares students for a better quality of life
![Page 14: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Things to keep in mind while planning and teaching…
• There is a time for choice and a time for teacher directed activities– When students are given choices in all
situations, “There strengths become stronger, and their weaknesses become weaker.” (Chapman, 2005)
• Students should be engaged in activity during all lessons
• Lessons should emphasize critical and creative thinking
• Be clear on key concepts and “big ideas” to help students form a framework for their new information
![Page 15: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How do I differentiate as the teacher?
• Differentiate (multiple paths to reach the same objectives) your classroom by examining the following elements of curriculum:
(1)Content- input, what the students learn
(2)Process- how students go about making sense of ideas and information
(3)Product- Output, how students demonstrate what they have learned
![Page 16: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Initiating Systemic Change
1. Mission Focus
2. Accurate Definition
3. Effective Leadership
4. Ongoing Professional Growth

Staff Development
Teachers' access to high-quality professional development has a direct affect on their ability to implement reforms in a way that
improves student achievement. – David Cohen

Differentiation Skills
Awareness of rationale for differentiation Assessment is summative only Able to identify foundational principles of
differentiation Use of multiple presentation modes &
materials Use of basic DI instructional strategies
(reading buddies, varies writing prompts)
Varied approach to student assessment Consistent use of assessment for
instructional planning (formative) Differentiating by readiness/lp/interest
within a single learning experience or brief sequence of lessons
Students feel valued by teacher and peers; reinforced by rules, routines and expectations
Develops creative and innovative assessment/grading
Designing differentiated lessons and units around key concepts/principles/skills
Differentiation becomes less systematic and more organic
Specialized approaches for specific learning needs

I would say if people haven’t been exposed to [differentiation] before, they might think it’s all or nothing which is really sad because then that might preclude them ever trying. It’s just like, oh, I can’t do this and you’re asking me to do way too much. Mrs. D
![Page 22: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
When I first started doing this, I’m so visual. I mean, almost completely visual and I tended to teach that way. . .so that its pictures and diagrams and all of this kind of stuff. Very little kinesthetic movement – and that’s when you get the fidgety kids and they’re gone. You’ve lost them! - Mrs. D
![Page 23: Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the learning potential MARIANNA KIVA B.Ed; M.Ed Implementing Differentiated Instruction Unlocking the.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051115/56649cfe5503460f949cee0a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Some teachers are good at thinking of questions ahead of time. . .I’m not so good at that, but I think I will come up with them on the fly.
Because you just sense where the child is at and where you want them to be and what’s the next step for getting this little brain there.
- Mrs. Y

It’s different every year. You know, you can think you’ve got it nailed down, but you had best be prepared to change at a moment’s notice. - Mrs. D
