3Technology and Differentiation
- Provides students with opportunities to share
experiences with other students - Assists teachers in locating curricular
experiences to attend to student interest,
readiness, and learning preference - Extends the application of lessons to real world
- Simulates problem solving used by scientists,
mathematician, etc. - Enhances text-based curriculum
- Engages students in process-application
activities
4- Find sources of information that are appropriate
for students who may have difficulty reading.
Some examples are visitations, interviews,
photographs, pictorial histories, films,
lectures, or experimentation. Remember, these
children do not want the curriculum to be less
challenging or demanding. Rather, they need
alternative ways to receive the information. - Provide advanced organizers to help students
receive and communicate information. Students who
have difficulty organizing and managing time also
benefit from receiving outlines of class
lectures, study guides, and a syllabus of topics
to be covered. Teach students who have difficulty
transferring ideas to a sequential format on
paper to use brainstorming and webbing to
generate outlines and organize written work. - Provide management plans in which tasks are
listed sequentially with target dates for
completion. Finally, provide a structure or
visual format to guide the finished product. A
sketch of an essay or science project board will
enable these students to produce a well-organized
product.
STRATEGIES
5- Use technology to promote productivity.
Technology has provided efficient means to
organize and access information, increase
accuracy in mathematics and spelling, and
enhance the visual quality of the finished
product. In short, it allows students with
learning disabilities to hand in work of which
they can feel proud. - Offer a variety of options for communication of
ideas. Writing is not the only way to
communicate all learning can be expressed and
applied in a variety of modes. Slides, models,
speeches, mime, murals, and film productions are
examples. Remember, however, to offer these
options to all children. Alternate modes should
be the rule rather than the exception. - Help students who have problems in short-term
memory develop strategies for remembering. The
use of mnemonics, especially those created by
students themselves, is one effective strategy to
enhance memory. Visualization techniques have
also proved to be effective.

6Seeking Clarity in an Instructional Unit of Study
7Planning a Focused Curriculum
Means Clarity About
What Students Should
- Facts (Columbus came to the New World
- Vocabulary (voyage, scurvy)
- Concepts (exploration, change)
- Principles/Generalizations (Change can be both
positive and negative. Exploration results in
change. Peoples perspectives affect how they
respond to change). - Skills
- Basic (literacy, numeracy)
- Thinking (analysis, evidence of reasoning,
- questioning)
- Of the Discipline (graphing/math/social
- studies)
- Planning (goal setting use of time)
- Social
Know
Understand
Be Able to Do
As a Result of a Lesson, Lesson Sequence, Unit,
and year
In general, these are held steady as a core for
nearly all learners in a differentiated classroom
Exception--linear skills and information which
can be assessed for mastery in the sequence (e.g.
spelling)
8Know
These are the facts, vocabulary, dates, places,
names, and examples you want students to give
you. The know is massively forgettable.
Teaching facts in isolation is like trying to
pump water uphill. Carol Tomlinson
9Understand
Major Concepts and Subconcepts
These are the written statements of truth, the
core to the meaning(s) of the lesson(s) or unit.
These are what connect the parts of a subject to
the students life and to other subjects. It is
through the understanding component of
instruction that we teach our students to truly
grasp the point of the lesson or the
experience. Understandings are purposeful. They
focus on the key ideas that require students to
understand information and make connections while
evaluating the relationships that exit within the
understandings.
10Turning Ideas into Essential Questions or
Inquiries
- How does what we say and do reveal our
personality? - How do people know what we think?
- What is the difference between main idea and
theme? - How does geographic location shape cultural
beliefs? - How does the position and power of a number
determine its value? - How does art shape a culture?
- How does culture shape art?
- What relationship exists between friction and
distance a car travels?
Are open-ended questions that drive
investigations of topics and ideas toward
conceptual levels of understanding. They assist
the curriculum writer by framing the activities
and lessons that lead students toward
understanding.
11Essential Questions, Inquiries, and Ponderings
Grappling with Ideas
In what ways do effective writers hook and hold
their readers? How do an organisms structure
and behavior patterns enable it to survive in its
environment? In what ways does art reflect
culture as well as shape it? How does
geographical location shape a culture? How do
artists choose tools, techniques, and materials
to express their Ideas?
12Able to Do
Skills
These are the basic skills of any discipline,
such as the thinking skills of analyzing,
evaluating, synthesizing, or planning the
skills of being an independent learner the
skills of setting and following criteria and
the skills of using the tools of knowledge such
as adding, dividing, understanding multiple
perspectives, following a timeline, calculating
latitude, or following the scientific
method. The skill portion encourages the
students to think like the professionals who
use the knowledge and skill daily as a matter of
how they do business. This is what it means to
be like a doctor, a scientist, a writer or an
artist.
13Process Skills/Methodologies of a Discipline
- Thinking skills used by students to construct
- meaning of the big ideas.
- Compare and contrast Making an observation
- Gathering data Drawing conclusions
- Analyzing data Identifying trends
- Identifying sequences Stating hypotheses
- Making inferences Developing questions
- Identifying point of view Determining bias
- Making predictions Summarizing data
- Categorizing Classifying
- Sequencing Developing criteria
- Making a decision Evaluating solutions
- How to chart stars How to use a compass
- How to identify a tree Determining authenticity
14How Does the Internet Assist You in Locating the
Know, Understand, and Be Able to Do?
- Take the Unit Framework and look at the
categories of knowledge it requires you to
identify for an instructional unit. Do you ever
have trouble generating the big ideas for the
instructional unit? How can you harness the
Internet to locating some of these knowledge
levels? Where might you go to seek clarity on
the skills used by the discipline? Now take an
idea for a unit that you are thinking about and
lets play with it during this work session. - Identify a topic or unit idea.
- Generate the concepts for the unit.
- Consider the essential ideas that students will
come to understand from this unit of study. - Turn those understandings into essential
questions that probe the how and why, and yes the
what. - Identify the factual knowledge that students will
acquire. - Consider the skills that students will use to use
to make sense of the essential understandings. - Align this with the standards that you plan to
use. - Keep the differentiation elements in your head as
you plan instructional activities and performance
tasks that align to your framework. - Align your assessment plan to your instructional
goals.

17Six Facets of Understanding
- Can EXPLAIN provide thorough, supported and
justifiable accounts of phenomena, facts and
data. - Can INTERPRET tell meaningful stories offer apt
translations provide a revealing historical or
personal dimension to ideas and events make it
personal or accessible through images, anecdotes,
analogies, and models. - Can APPLY effectively use and adapt what we know
in diverse contexts.
- Have PERSPECTIVE see and hear points of view
through critical eyes and ears see the big
picture. - Can EMPATHIZE find value in what others might
find odd, alien, or implausible perceive
sensitively on the basis of prior direct
experience. - Have SELF-KNOWLEDGE perceive the personal style,
prejudices, projections, and habits of mind that
both shape and impede our own understanding we
are aware of what we do not understand and why
understanding is so hard.
18ExplanationWhy is that so? What explains such
events? What accounts for such action? How can we
prove it? To what is this connected? How does
this work? What is implied?
Write letters home describing what pioneer life
is really like vs. what you expected. Write a
newspaper editorial in a 1777 newspaper Was the
break with England inevitable? Describe the role
of silence in music. Develop a troubleshooting
guide for an electric circuit system.
Call on students to explain, justify, generalize,
predict, support, verify,prove, and substantiate.
19InterpretationWhat does it mean? Why does it
matter? What of it? What does it illustrate or
illuminate in human experience? How does it
relate to me? What makes sense?
Read and interpret real-life journals and stories
of pioneers to infer from vocabulary and images
what life was really like. Assume the role of
an electrical sub- contractor Interpret and
analyze the wiring drawings for building a
house. Whats wrong with Holden? Make sense
of the main character in Catcher in The Rye.
Call on students to interpret, translate, make
sense of, show the significance or, decode, and
make a story meaningful.
20ApplicationHow and where can we use this
knowledge, skill, or process? How should my
thinking and action be modified to meet the
demands of this particular situation?
Create a museum exhibit in which photos and
facsimile artifacts tell the story of the
hardships of pioneer life. Build a working set
of switches for a model railroad
layout. Perform a chemical analysis of local
stream water to monitor EPA compliance, and
present findings.
Call on students to put ideas to a new use or
apply the concepts, principles, or skills to a
new situation.
21PerspectiveFrom whose point of view? From which
vantage point? What is assumed or tacit that
needs to be made explicit and considered? What is
justified or warranted? Is there adequate
evidence? Is it reasonable? What are the
strengths and weaknesses of the idea? Is it
plausible? What are its limits? So what?
Read and discuss The Real Story of the Three
Little Pigs by A. Wolf. AC or DC? Argue the
merits of each type of current for various
users? Stage a debate between settlers and
Native Americans on the effects of western
settlement.
Call on students to generate reasons for varying
points of view argue, compare/contrast, and
criticize.
22EmpathyHow does it seem to you? What do they
see that I dont? What do I need to experience
if I am to understand? What was the artist or
performer feeling, seeing, and trying to make me
feel and see?
Write a series of simulated letters back
and forth between relatives in America
and England during the pre-Revolutionary
war, war, and post-war era. Write a letter to
relatives back east describing the death of
pioneer neighbors. Create an imaginary diary
entry-A day in the life of an electron.
Call on students to assume the role of express
emotions related to consider imagine and
relate.
23Self-KnowledgeHow does who I am shape my views?
What are the limits of my understanding? What are
my blind spots? What do I now know?
Journal writing What would I fight for? Develop
a mathematical resume with a brief description
of your intellectual strengths and
weaknesses. Keep a log of your reactions to the
concerns expressed by the Pilgrims.
Call on students to express new insight
self-evaluate reflect prove that you realize
that.

26Differentiating Instruction Rules of Thumb
- Be clear on the key concepts, principles, and
generalizations that give meaning and structure
to the topic, chapter, unit, or lesson you are
planning. - Lessons for all students should emphasize
critical thinking. - Lessons for all students should be engaging and
respectful. - In a differentiated classroom, there should be a
balance between student-selected and
teacher-assigned tasks and working arrangements.
27What is Differentiated Instruction?
- Its teaching with student variance in mind.
- Its starting where the kids are rather than with
a standardized approach to teaching that assumes
all kids of a given age or grade are essentially
alike. - Its responsive teaching rather than
one-size-fits-all teaching.
28What is Differentiated Instruction?
- It means teachers proactively plan varied
approaches to what students need to learn, how
they will learn it, and/or how they will show
what they have learned in order to increase the
likelihood that each student will learn as much
as possible. - Its a way of thinking about the classroom with
the goals of honoring each students learning
needs and maximizing each students learning
capacity while developing a solid community of
learners.
29What is Differentiated Instruction?
- Its a teacher reacting responsively to a
learners needs. - Its shaking up the classroom so students have
multiple options for taking in information,
making sense of ideas, and expressing what they
learn.

is a teachers response to learners needs
guided by general principles of differentiation,
such as
teachers students collaborating in learning
clarity of learning goals
ongoing assessment adjustment
respectful tasks
flexible grouping
Teachers can differentiate
process
product
content
according to
readiness
interests
learning profile
35Less-Developed Readiness Level
- Students with less-developed readiness may need
- someone to help them identify and make up gaps in
their learning so they can move ahead - more opportunities for direct instruction or
practice - activities or products that are more structured
or more concrete, with fewer steps , closer to
their own experiences, and calling on simpler
reading skills or - a more deliberate pace of learning.
- C.A. Tomlinson, 1999, p. 11
36Advanced Readiness Level
- Advanced students may need
- to skip practice with previously mastered skills
and understandings - activities and products that are quite complex,
open-ended, abstract, and multifaceted, drawing
on advanced reading material or - A brisk pace of work, or perhaps a slower pace to
allow for greater depth of exploration - C.A. Tomlinson, 1999, p. 11

41How Do You Like to Learn?Directions Use the
questions below to guide your writing about your
learning preferences. This information will be
helpful to be as a teacher in understanding how
you best learn.
- Do you study best when it is quiet or can you
ignore the noise of other people talking while
you are working? - Do you prefer working at a table or desk, on the
floor, or in some other space? - Is it important for you to work hard? Why?
- Do you work on an assignment until it is
completed, or do you get frustrated with your
work and do not finish it. - When an assignment is given, do you like to have
exact steps on how to complete it or do you
prefer creating your own steps on how to complete
it. - Do you prefer working by yourself, in pairs, or
in groups? - Do you like to have unlimited amount of time to
work on an assignment or do you prefer to have a
certain amount of time to work on an assignment? - Do you like to learn by moving and doing or while
sitting at your desk? - Do you set your own time schedule for completing
assignments or do you prefer to have someone
assist you in keeping yourself on schedule? - What other things should I know about you as a
learner?
42Create Your Own Surveys
- SurveyMonkey
- This software allows you to design professional
online surveys. - http//www.surveymonkey.com
43In other words . . . . .
- In the early stages of differentiation, its
helpful to think about using student readiness,
interest, and learning profile to differentiate
content, process, and product. Tomlinson. 2001
How to Differentiate Instruction. . . (page
66) - In differentiated classrooms, teachers
continually assess student readiness, interest,
learning profile, and affect. Teachers then use
what they learn to modify content, process,
product, and the learning environment to ensure
maximum learning for each member of the class.
Tomlinson. 2004 Fulfilling . . . (page 6)

Telecollaborative Project?
A telecollaborative project is an educational
project that involves sharing information with
another person or group of people over the
internet. Telecollaborative projects range from
setting up simple keypal relationships between
your students and another class to involving many
classrooms and experts from around the world in
an information-gathering project that requires a
collaborative effort.
