Ch. 1: Defining "Differentiated Instruction"

Blends whole class, small group and individual instruction.

Multiple Approaches

content, process, product

NOT "tailoring" basic assignments

Find appropriate assignments rather than "fit" the same assignment to every learner.

NOT 70s Individualized Instruction

Differentiation recognizes the importance of mixing whole class, small group and individual instruction.

70s "individualized instruction" makes learning fragmented and irrelevant.

Individual assignments for each student becomes exhausting for teacher.

NOT Chaos

"purposeful movement" not "disorder"

Organic

"way of life"

Teachers constantly looking for ways to make instruction better for all.

Teachers collaborate with students to learn how to teach them better.

Student Centered

engaging, relevant, interesting

Teach students to take repsonsibility for their own learning.

Learning is built upon prior knowledge.

Rooted in Assessment

Assess for learning.

takes place during unit to determine readiness, interest and modes of learning

opportunities for students to share what they understand

Qualitative

Challenging work rather than more work.

Proactive

Plan different learning "options" ahead of time.

NOT a way to heterogeneously group students

"fluid" not "fixed"

"Flexible Grouping" that focuses on strengths and weaknesses of students
