Let’s not make differentiation a bad word I fear that the pendulum is swinging back towards one-size-fits-all instruction. to me, there isn’t necessarily a problem with the idea of differentiated instruction. After all, we know very well that kids come into our classrooms with different needs, and as their teachers, it’s our jobs to meet as many of those needs as possible. I’ve actually discussed this with Carol Ann Tomlinson herself, and she would be one of the first to say the differentiation is not synonymous with small group instruction. The problem is that too many people have misinterpreted her work and applied it too liberally to small group instruction. If there’s one thing I want you to take away today, it’s that differentiation is all about decision-making. At its core, it’s not about creating different groups, making stations, or individualizing the curriculum through playlists. Differentiation is about access and equity. That’s it. What do you think?

Why Differentiate? Effective differentiation allows all students to access the curriculum & achieve success based on their needs. Carol Ann Tomlinson suggests 4 ways teachers can differentiate to meet students’ learning needs in the classroom. ⭐️ CONTENT - This is where we differentiate “what” is being taught to students. This could look like varied success criteria for students working at different levels. ⭐️ PROCESS - Teachers differentiate the “how” throughout the learning & the way in which students access the learning or participate in the experiences. This could involve using different resources or scaffolds for certain students. ⭐️ PRODUCT - This allows students to present their learning in a way that suits their needs & abilities. Students could draw, write, speak, film, or voice record to share their learning & achieve success. ⭐️ ENVIRONMENT - Differentiating the classroom or learning space to suit students needs could look like setting up zones within your room for students to work in different ways or providing a range of furniture or classroom tools/supports to meet students’ needs.

Buongiorno buongiorno e buongiorno. Grazie per la vostra compagnia . Che fate di bello oggi? 💋❤️❤️

I want to introduce you to someone whose story the state of Florida—and Gov. Ron DeSantis—tried to silence. Caroline Williams was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 20 weeks pregnant. The treatment she needed would end her pregnancy. She made the decision to have an abortion just weeks before Florida’s ban went into effect. She shared her story in a powerful ad—and DeSantis’s administration responded by threatening TV stations for airing it. A federal judge had to step in and remind them: “It’s the First Amendment.” I interviewed Caroline at the Free and Just Summit. It’s just 90 seconds. Please watch. Please share. Her story matters. @freeandjustus #freeandjustpartner #freeandjust #reproductivefreedom #storytellersummit #postroereality #stopaborti0nbans
