Mapping a Route Toward Differentiated Instruction
Even though students may learn in many ways, the essential skills and content they learn can remain steady. That is, students can take different roads to the same destination.
Differentiating Instruction For the Gifted
-
A particular challenge for middle school teachers is being able to
differentiate or adapt instruction to respond to the diverse student
needs found in inclusive, mixed-ability classrooms. This digest
provides an overview of some key principles for differentiating
instruction, with an emphasis on the learning needs of academically
advanced learners.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION
Home Page
-
Federal law, IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Act), mandates the
meeting of academic needs of all students in the classroom. This site offers high
level differentiated content curriculum for high-ability and gifted students in the
classroom. All of these activities are technology integrated.
Differentiated Instruction
-
In
this area we offer an excellent array of articles on differentiated
instruction that take into consideration the great variety of ways
in which students learn. With the growing diversity of students in
every classroom, it is essential to offer more choices in how to learn
and more ways that can engage learners in ways they learn best.
What is Differentiated Instruction
-
- Differentiated Instruction is based on the following beliefs:
- Students differ in their learning profiles
- Classrooms in which students are active learners, decision makers and
problem solvers are more natural and effective than those in which students
are served a "one-size-fits-all" curriculum and treated as passive recipients
of information - "Covering information" takes a backseat to making meaning out of important
ideas.
DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION
-
Differentiated instruction is an approach to planning so that one lesson is taught to the entire class while meeting the individual needs of each child.
The teacher weaves the individual goals into the classroom content and instructional strategies. The content and the instructional strategies are the vehicles by which the teacher meets the needs of all the students.
Differentiated Instruction
-
On
a simple level, differentiated instruction is teaching with student
variance in mind. It means starting where the kids are rather than
adopting a standardized approach to teaching that seems to presume
that all learners of a given age or grade are essentially alike.
Thus differentiated instruction is �responsive� teaching rather than �one-size-fits-all� teaching
Differentiated Instruction | Differentiated Instruction

What is DI?
"Differentiated Instruction is effective
instruction that is responsive to the
learning preferences, interests and
readiness of the individual learner."
Strategies for Differentiating
-
Teachers
new to differentiating instruction may initially choose to use
individual strategies and begin by differentiating either
content,
process or product .
It is
also important to recognize that there is a
considerable overlap between the strategies listed below. As teachers
become comfortable with these strategies several may be very effectively
employed simultaneously.
How to Plan For Differentiate Instruction

How
to Plan For Differentiate InstructionAfter having read what the research has to offer on differentiated instruction,
specifically, brain-based research on learning, learning styles and multiple
intelligences, and authentic assessment, you are now ready to plan.
