Differentiated Instruction

Defined

“ Differentiated instruction is a teaching philosophy based on the premise that teachers should adapt instruction to student differences. Rather than marching students through the curriculum lockstep, teachers should modify their instruction to meet students’ varying readiness levels, learning preferences, and interests. Therefore, the teacher proactively plans a variety of ways to ‘get at’ and express learning.”

Differentiated Instructionis

a teacher’s response to learner’s needs

guided by general principles of differentiation,such as

flexible grouping

appropriate degree of challenge

Learning Style Differentiation

• How do I find out about students’ preferences?• How do I keep an accessible record of this in order to

USE the information in instruction?• How do I group students in either think-alike or

think-differently tasks?• What are some possible strategies?

– Sternberg multiple intelligence lessons– Learning modality preferences in lessons– RAFTs (writing across the curriculum, differentiated by

learning preference)– Anchoring “go to” activity– Learning contracts (differentiated by learning preference)

Learning Style Social Studies Lesson on Landforms based on Sternberg’s Intelligence Preference

Know: Geographical terms (isthmus, delta, peninsula, river, island)

Understand: Landforms and bodies of water effect human movement and influence the development of cities.

Do: Locate and label specific landformsAnalyze how landforms produce economic advantages that establish settlements.

After students have read and taken notes on the chapter, the teacher reviews with the whole class the basic information on landforms. Then, students are given a choice of three assignments to be done individually or in groups of two or three.

Page 8: Sandra Page

Practical: Using these 8 given cities, (or you may choose other cities after approval by teacher), demonstrate how landforms and bodies of water contributed to the development and movement of people to this site over a period of time. You may use overlay transparencies or models to show the areas and growth.

Creative: Develop a map of a new world that has at least 8 different types of landforms and/or bodies of water. Using labels, etc., determine how these sites would grow due to economic possibilities of these geographical features, and predict population growth over a period of time.

Analytical: Create clues or a set of directions to help us identify and locate at least 8 landforms on the map (given in the textbook, or a map provided by the teacher). Clues/directions should also be based on population and economic growth and changes.

Social Studies Chapter Review: Differentiation by Learning Modality Students are asked to read a textbook chapter, using a graphic organizer for note-taking. They

then prepare a review/response using learning modality preferences. They may work in ‘learning style alike’ partnerships to prepare the response. In class, they will debrief in groups

of 4 with each modality represented in each group.

Kinesthetic

Using your notes, create a set of overhead transparencies, 1-3 minute simulation, cardboard puppet theater, or short drama that helps us link the big ideas, crucial moments, and important people in this chapter.

Oral

Using your notes, create a set of 5-8 open-ended questions that are designed to be asked of the important people in this chapter. The questions’ responses should reveal the big ideas, crucial moments, and other important people. You will be the responder as someone else reads at least two of the interview questions.

Visual

Using your notes, create a powerpoint (4-5 slides), timeline, or concept map that helps us understand the main ideas, crucial decisions, and important people in this chapter.

Auditory

Using your notes, create a 1-3 minute news item that summarizes the essential ideas, crucial decisions, and people. You may tape or videotape this, using your voice and others.

Differentiation by Learning Modality PreferenceSewing Project Choices in Consumer Education Class

Students will all create a small, original product using skills of: sewing, design & layout, fabric selection, color choice, embellishment choices

Kinesthetic

Create a cloth book or baby blanket made of varying textures of fabric that would allow a child to feel rough, smooth, thick, thin, soft, hard, etc. Be prepared to justify your choices.

Oral

Create a quilt square or small wall-hanging that tells a story or responds to a question. For example, “When I am joyful, I …” Be prepared to justify your choices.

Visual

Create a fabric illustration, collage, or pillow that sets a strong, visible mood. Be prepared to justify your choices.

Auditory

Create a fabric collage or pillow using a particular piece of music as inspiration for fabric and color selections. Be prepared to justify your choices.
