Take a moment to think about todays objectives

Differentiated Instruction is the thoughtful pursuit and response to diversity in a learning community that is precise, effective, and efficient.

Five Daily Routines Support Student Driven Learning

Clarity, Access, Rigor, Relevance Four Planning Tools

ALL-ED is a collection of five daily learning routines and four instructional planning tools that support teachers in differentiated instruction every day.

Planning Time

Informative Assessment G – Gives students clear goals and current position P – Provides instruction and alternate routes S – Shows patterns among learners

Read and annotate the Informative Assessment Tool Box. You may do a dentist office read, scanning for interesting words and reading around those words or a careful reading starting at the beginning and reading through to the end. Annotate your text using the directions below. Before you read: Think about what your students typically do measure their learning progress. Is it different if they reflecting on learning with you or by themselves? Walk through this handout to see what strategies are here. Note the pages that have examples and the pages that have lists of strategies. During your reading:  Check the things that confirm things that you already knew ? Put a Question Mark next to things you have questions or wonder about After your Reading: Re-read your  s and ? s  Star the one most important assessment strategy that you will use this year with students ! Place an Exclamation Point in the margin and/or on the back of this page and note the things that are missing from this handout.

Save the last word for me Goal: To note interesting and useful ideas. Rounds Roles Task Important 1 st & Last Word Important Role

Group Learning: Save the Last Word for Me Goal/Purpose: To note interesting and useful ideas. Formation: Groups of four, different grades, subjects, and schools Roles: Role 1 st and Last Word (share interesting and useful idea ) and Role Important Pointer (share one reason why this idea might be important to you ) Starting Point: Raise hand who is going first Rounds: Three rounds ( 10 min) Open Exchange: Talk about patterns and surprises (3 min) Reflection – task and process, plans for next time

Let’s have a round of applause

Applause-O-Meter (Rubric) Criteria Getting Started! Almost There!You’ve got it! Volume Applause is barely audible in volume. Applause is of moderate volume. Applause is thunderous, making it hard for speaker to talk over it. Dynamics Applause is given weakly with many lulls and slow movement of arms and hands. Applause is of moderate speed with some lulls and regular movement of arms and hands. Applause is vigorous with no lulls, and rapid movement of arms and hands. Enthusiasm Applause is short in duration and given with some reservation. Applause is polite, short in duration, and given with a smile. Applause is prolonged & accompanied by whoops & cheers. Heidi Goodrich Andrade, Harvard Project Zero, 2008

Why differentiated instruction? "Certain motivational states interfere with learning. Two adverse conditions are especially dangerous: anxiety and boredom. Anxiety occurs primarily when teachers expect too much from students; boredom occurs when teachers expect too little. When curricular expectations are out of sync with students' abilities, not only does motivation decrease, but also achievement." --Talented Teenagers by Csikszentmihalyi, Rathunde, Whalen

Take-Away Learning

Reflect on your learning about sustainable differentiated instruction using the ALL-ED framework. Write one change in your thinking using the prompts below. I used to think... Now I think... So next I will...

How to respond to diversity Remediation – continue to work on objectives from previous units that have not been mastered while moving forward into the next unit. Seek to develop missing skills, knowledge, and understanding that are necessary to progress in learning. Supports – provide structures that enable students to learn new content without being hampered by learning challenges. The learning challenges will be addressed in another lesson. Often learning challenges are addresses when the content of the lesson is a review for the student. When the content or material of the lesson is new to the student, providing supports for learning challenges enables the student to focus on acquiring the new information, skills, and understanding. Extensions – provide stretch for students who have mastered the objectives being taught in a lesson. Multiple Pathways – provide multiple means of representation of the ideas, processes for learning, and performances to demonstrate learning.
