Statement of Purpose This module will teach you how to provide effective lessons when instructing groups of students with varying levels and learning styles. www.osymigrant.org

Differentiated Instruction: What is it? A differentiated lesson is one where all students are learning the same material in different ways. To create an effective lesson using differentiated instruction, it is important to have a balance between what you are teaching and how the students are learning. Differentiated Instruction: What is it? learning teaching www.osymigrant.org

Before the Lesson: Elements to Consider The students level of readiness - how prepared they are to learn specific information or skills. An informal assessment should be conducted to make this determination. Interest – What appeals to the students interests? If they are interested in what they are being taught they will be more motivated to learn. Determine what they like, their hobbies, which sports, places or food they enjoy Learning Profile – How the student approaches learning and learns best: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, multi-modality. www.osymigrant.org

Before the Lesson: Elements to Consider In order to achieve balance for an effective lesson, the following four elements need to be considered: Content: What does the student need to learn? Process: How the student makes sense of the content being taught. Students have different ways of learning such as:  Visual – Student learns better by seeing (pictures, photographs, textbooks)  Auditory – Student learns better by listening (audio books, music, lecture)  Kinesthetic – Student learns better by using hands-on activities and movement  Multi-modality – students learn by a combination of more than one learning style continued www.osymigrant.org

Before the Lesson: More Elements to Consider 3. Product: How the student demonstrates what they have learned.  quizzes/tests  projects  activities  oral reports and/or written reports, etc. 4. Affect: The feelings and attitudes that impact the students’ learning. Create a safe and supportive environment Be respective of the students thoughts and feelings Lessons should be interesting and challenging If the students are interested in the subject matter and feel supported by their teacher and peers, they will be motivated to learn www.osymigrant.org

For the full module, see One on One and Small Group Instruction During the Lesson: Creating Successful Differentiated Group Instruction Flexible grouping can be used to ensure success. Groups don’t always have to be the same; they can continually change. Here are some suggestions: Group according to academic level Group according to learning styles (visual, auditory or kinesthetic) Group based on prior knowledge (how much the students know about the topic) Group according to interests Group based on English language skills For more ideas: See One on One and Small Group Instruction For the full module, see One on One and Small Group Instruction www.osymigrant.org

During the Lesson: Creating Successful Differentiated Group Instruction A Learning Community is a group of people who share common goals and attitudes. They help foster success among students with different ability levels and learning styles. Here are some suggestions for building a learning community: Encourage students to collaborate. Allowing them to share individual strengths can increase productivity in the group as they learn from each other. Encourage students to have a voice in how the learning community works and take responsibility for solving problems. Encourage different viewpoints and ideas. Consider that relationships may already exist between students. Remember that many OSY live and work together and bring their life experience to the learning setting. Understanding and working with these relationships can impact the success of your group. www.osymigrant.org

During the Lesson: Strategy for Differentiation with Language Learners Example Topic: Protect Your Back While Working Lesson can be found on the OSY Consortium website at: http://www.osymigrant.org/For%20Your%20Health%20back.pdf Teacher to student in silent period : “Lift the box.” Teacher to Low Beginner: “What is she doing?” Teacher to Intermediate student: “Why do we need to lift correctly?” www.osymigrant.org

Strategies for Differentiated Instruction RAFT – is a writing strategy that can be used in all content areas and offers students a choice in how to focus and complete their writing assignment. R is for Role – the person or thing that the students will become. A is for Audience – the person or people who will be reading the finished product. F is for Format – the way in which the writing will be done. Examples might include letter, brochure, memo, speech, comic or advertisement. T is for Topic – what the writing will discuss. Students can demonstrate their mastery of content knowledge in this matter. RAFT allows for differentiated instruction because students get a choice in their assignment based on their interest and preferred style of learning. www.osymigrant.org

An Example of RAFT Example Topic: A Popular Place Teacher reads aloud to all students, a paragraph on a popular place they all said they want to visit, sharing important facts about the location. RAFT activity: Advanced students - take the role of a travel agent and the format of creating a travel brochure for an audience of tourists Intermediate students - take the role of a tourist writing and addressing the format of a postcard to the audience of friends Beginner students – take the role of the interesting place creating the format of a poster to encourage the audience of potential tourists to visit www.osymigrant.org

An Example of RAFT with GOSOSY Lesson Example Topic: Healthy Mouth Mini Lesson Lesson can be found at: http://osymigrant.org/For%20Your%20Health%20HealthyMouth.pdf RAFT activity: Advanced students - take the role of a dentist with the format of writing a small brochure highlighting instructions on proper dental hygiene for an audience of patients Intermediate students - take the role of a patient with the format of a written list of questions to be asked of the dentist, their audience Beginner students – take the role of the instructor and create the format of a poster with labels of the parts of the mouth to show proper dental hygiene to their roommates or other OSY as their audience www.osymigrant.org

Strategies for Differentiated Instruction-continued Graphic Organizer - uses visual symbols to give information, concepts, thoughts or ideas and show the relationship between them. Example: www.osymigrant.org

Strategies for Differentiated Instruction-continued Examples: Bubble Map, double bubble map, flow chart www.osymigrant.org

Strategies for Differentiated Instruction-continued Example: Flow chart www.osymigrant.org

Strategies for Differentiated Instruction-continued Tiered Instruction: all students learn the same skills but at different levels. Teachers make slight adjustments within the same lesson to meet needs of the students. The activities challenge students at their ability level. Example: Teacher reads aloud to all students, a paragraph on a popular place they all said they want to visit, sharing important facts about the location.  Advanced students – can write a paragraph describing the place, what they found interesting and surprising and why.  Intermediate students - can list the facts they found most interesting or surprising and write a sentence for each fact, stating what they found interesting/ surprising.  Beginner students – give students a Double Bubble graphic organizer. One bubble is labeled “interesting” and the other labeled “surprising.” Have students select words from a fact word bank you have provided and copy the words into the correct bubbles (interesting/surprising), in which they believe the words belong. www.osymigrant.org

Strategies for Differentiated Instruction-continued Technology – Technology based lessons (iPads, laptops, computers) are useful in teaching students of various learning styles. Examples: SAS Curriculum Pathways, Moby Max Online resources that provides interactive lessons, videos, audio tutorials, and apps for English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and Spanish. Through the various interactive resources students learn, practice skills, and have assessments to email, print, or save. This information helps teachers continue to group students based on their needs. https://www.sascurriculumpathways.com www.mobymax.com www.osymigrant.org

After the Lesson: Assessment Providing continual assessment helps you see what information has been learned and where further instruction is needed. Assessments help you plan grouping and activities based on your students’ levels. Here are some suggestions: Review assessment results regularly to gauge student progress Change instruction as needed based on assessment results Use creative ways to help students prepare for assessments Create charts or posters that can be left on display Develop or have students create study guides Leave instructional materials with students (flashcards, games, etc.) www.osymigrant.org

There are two types of assessment: formal and informal. After the lesson: Assessment There are two types of assessment: formal and informal. Formal assessments are given to students individually that systematically measure learning and can be scored. Examples of Formal Assessments: Tests and quizzes May be written, oral, multiple choice, etc. Formal assessments available on the GOSOSY Website are linked below www.osymigrant.org

After the lesson: Assessment Informal assessments enable an instructor to evaluate students’ performance. They can be interactive, engaging, and hands-on. Examples of Informal Assessments: Thumbs up / thumbs down hand response to questions Quick write (students write the answer on a whiteboard, note card etc.) Holding up a Yes / No card Turn and share with a partner Role play activities Oral questions to which the student responds Be creative and have fun with your informal assessments! www.osymigrant.org

After the Lesson: Differentiated Assessment Example Assessment For: Protect Your Back While Working All students would use the word bank to complete the assessment in the following ways, depending on the level of their language ability. The teacher’s instructions would be differentiated as follows: Student in Silent Period: “Match the pictures to the correct words.” Low Beginner Student: “Write the correct word in the blank.” ___________ a box correctly keeps your back safe. Intermediate Student: “Write the steps to correctly lift a box.” Word Bank: Joint Lifting Stretch out Squat Pressure Silent Period Intermediate Low Beginner For the full module, see Working with Language Learners www.osymigrant.org

Experts in differentiated instruction recommend: The teacher’s role in the differentiated classroom is to continually ask him/herself: “What does this student need at this moment in order to be able to learn and progress with this content?” “What do I need to do to make that happen?” Tomlinson and Imbeau (2010) www.osymigrant.org
