Getting to Know you…

Our point is…
• Every necklace in this room is different because of our various teaching and personal
experiences, just as every student in our classrooms are different because of their
educational experiences. • We must meet the needs of every learner, not
just the ones that are on the same academic level.

What is Differentiated Instruction?
• Differentiated instruction is when teachers maximize the learning potential of a classroom by modifying curriculum, teaching methods, learning resources and activities to address the needs of the students, as individuals or small groups gathered by learning level.
• The teacher adjusts the pace of the teaching according to the needs of the students as well as their interests and learning styles.

Why Differentiate?
• Students are more responsive and successful learners if instruction is provided at their readiness level and takes their interests into consideration.

Who Benefits From the Differentiated Stations?
Challenging• A learner who is bored and not
engaged in learning in the classroom becomes bored. Bored and frustrated learners typically act out, disrupting learning for those students who were engaged in the instruction. Examples: On grade level students that want a challenge or students that have been identified as Gifted and above grade level.
Basic• A learner who is lost, or
overwhelmed in the classroom becomes frustrated. Examples: A student that has fallen behind or a special education student.
