ACTIVITY: Fact or Bluff (15 mins.)
• Choose your TEAM LEADER and RECORDER.
• Discuss within your group if each statement is FACT OR BLUFF. Arrive at a consensus.
• At a given signal, the team will stand if their answer is FACT. They will remain seated if their response is BLUFF.
• The Team Leader must be ready to justify the group’s answer in 1 minute.
FACT OR BLUFFDIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION is:1. Group work 2. Individualization3. Stand and deliver4. Covering the content 5. Related to competencies
6. Activity-oriented7. Learner-centered 8. MOTS (more of the same)9. More for advanced; less for
others

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION
FOR A BIT OF HISTORY…
1985-”Differential education” for gifted & talented coined by Virgil Ward (U of Virginia)
1995 popularized by Carol Ann Tomlinson (U of Virginia)
THEORETICAL BASES OF DI
• Vygotsky, 1896-1934: Zone of Proximal development; Scaffolding
• Jerome Bruner on interest and organization of learning
THEORETICAL BASES OF DI
• Howard Gardner: Multiple Intelligences, 1983
• Honey & Mumford, 1982; Myer Briggs, Dunn & Dunn, etc.: Learning Styles
The ‘SPIRIT’ of Differentiated Teaching for Learning
• In teaching, what ultimately matters is NOT what is taught, but what is learned;
• If the students have not learned, the teacher has not taught
Product
Through a variety of instructional strategies
Carol Ann Tomlinson (2006)

• Multiple approaches to content, process, and product
• A way of thinking and planning
• Flexible grouping
What Differentiation Isn’t

• 35 different plans for one classroom
• A chaotic classroom
• Just homogenous grouping

What Can Be Tiered?
• Processes, content and products
• Assignments
• Homework
• Learning stations
• Assessments
• Writing prompts
• Anchor activities
• Materials
What Can We Adjust?
• Level of complexity• Amount of structure• Pacing• Materials• Concrete to abstract• Options based on student interests• Options based on learning styles
Tiering Instruction
1. Identify the standards, concepts, or generalizations you want the students to learn.
2. Decide if students have the background necessary to be successful with the lesson.
3. Assess the students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles.
Tiering Instructions
4. Create an activity or project that is clearly focused on the standard, concept or generalization of the lesson.
5. Adjust the activity to provide different levels or tiers of difficulty that will lead all students to an understanding.
6. Develop an assessment component for the lesson. Remember, it is on-going!
