  1. Differentiated Instruction for Coaches Presented by: Shabana Ahmad-Farook, Mathematics Instructional Specialist Cara Hayden, Mathematics Instructional Specialist Kimberly Pirtle, Mathematics Instructional Specialist Carol Sheffield, Mathematics Instructional Specialist

  2. What are your teachers doing with their Embedded Assessment data? • Share best practices with the group: • Differentiated Instruction • Re-teaching • Remediate • Enrichment • Tutorials • Do you have any unresolved issues regarding Embedded Assessments? Chart Paper: 20 minutes Discussions: 15 minutes

  3. Differentiated Instruction “Differentiation is simply a teacher attending to the learning needs of a particular student or small groups of students, rather than teaching a class as though all individuals in it were basically alike.” —Carol Ann Tomlinson (2000)

  4. What Is Differentiation? The above list was adapted from the following resources: Benjamin, Amy. 2002. Dispelling some myths about differentiated instruction. Differentiated instruction: A guide for middle and high school teachers. Larchmont, NY: Eye on Education. Wormeli, Rick. 2005. Busting myths about differentiated instruction. National Association of Secondary School Principals. http://wwwfindarticles.com. Accessed October 1, 2007.

  5. How Is it Implemented? • Implementation looks different for each student and each assignment. Before beginning instruction, teachers should: • Use diagnostic assessments to determine student readiness: • formal or informal (Embedded Assessments, Fall Diagnostics) • give pre-tests, question students about their background knowledge, or use KWL charts • Results used to drive instruction • Identify student learning styles and environmental preferences. • Learning styles can be measured using learning style inventories. • ask students how they learn best and by observing student activities. • determining whether students work best in large or small groups • environmental factors might contribute to or inhibit student learning

  6. Teachers Can Differentiate Content Process Product According to Students’ Interest Learning Profile Readiness Adapted from The Differentiated Classroom: Responding to the Needs of All Learners (Tomlinson, 1999)

  7. Comparing ClassroomsTraditional Classrooms vs. Differentiated Classrooms • Envelope A contains how a Traditional Classroom looks and Envelope B contains how a Differentiated Classroom looks. • Match the strips from Envelope A with the strips from Envelope B. • With the provided master copy –you can do the same activity with your teachers to discuss what Differentiated classes should look like. Activity: 20 minutes

  8. Learning Menus Empowering students through CHOICE while ensuring adherence to important LEARNING GOALS.

  9. Non-negotiable

  10. “There is nothing so unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.” —Thomas Jefferson

  11. How are your teachers going to review the Fall Diagnostic with their students? • Open floor discussion : • Have you discussed with your mathematics team how they plan on reviewing the fall diagnostic? • By Strands • Games/Competition • Grouping Strategies • Menu Planners • What will your intensive teachers target?

  12. Create a Fall Diagnostic Review Action Plan for your School Using the Provided form, create an action plan for your school site. (Think about who is responsible for tasks and completion dates.) • When will teachers review data? • Who will assist teachers with reviewing their data? • What will they cover?(Regular teachers vs. Intensive teachers) • When will they review the diagnostic? • Who will monitor the teachers reviewing the diagnostic. Development of Action Plan: 15 minutes Discussion: 15 minutes

  13. Needs Assessment • Your needs as a coach are important to us. • Please complete the Needs Assessment so we can provide you meaningful and purposeful Professional Development Have a great weekend!

  14. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”William Arthur Ward
