This five-year plan outlines a systematic approach to differentiation in education, initiating with an overview session for all staff. The journey begins with defining differentiation and understanding student readiness, paving the way for tailored instruction. Through quarterly curriculum meetings, informal assessments, and staff development opportunities, we aim to create a powerful curriculum aligned with student needs. Ongoing unit development and collaborative peer observations will further support educators. Let’s explore how all building and district initiatives align under the umbrella of differentiation.
