Differentiated InstructionJune 18 & 19
Presented by Meg Porcella
Activating Prior KnowledgeResearch indicates that “….what students already know about the content is one of the strongest indicators of how well they will learn new information;” therefore, it is critical that teachers begin to spend more time with focused instruction to build background knowledge.

Background Knowledge?
Life experiences
Ability to process and store information
The quantity and variety of our academically enriching experiences
Direct Approach
• Enrich Academics: Providing a variety and depth of out-of-class experiences
• Relationships: Providing a mentoring environment with caring adults
Indirect approaches
• Virtual experiences (taps into our three types of memory: sensory, working and permanent)• Reading (silent sustained reading w/ interaction
about what they read; text rendering protocol)• Language interaction (talking/listening to
others)• Educational visual media
• Vocabulary knowledge

What is a Performance Task?
“What happens in athletics should happen in schools, though often it does not. In classrooms we see overemphasis on tests and worksheets that are the equivalent of decontextualized sideline drills, with few if any opportunities for students to actually play the game or ‘do’ the subject in realistic ways.”
Wiggins and McTighe (2012)
