  6. Student Success/Learning to 18 Differentiated Instruction Professional Learning Strategy - a province-wide strategy to build the capacity of educators in Grades 7-12 to find out about their learners and respond to their diverse needs by differentiating instruction SS/L-18ITEB 2010 Differentiated Instruction Summer Program

  7. Context: Core Priorities High Levels of Student Achievement Reducing the Gaps in Student Achievement Increased Public Confidence in Our Publicly Funded Schools SS/L-18ITEB 2010 Differentiated Instruction Summer Program

  8. DI Professional Learning Strategy Ben Levin (2008). How to Change 5000 Schools, Harvard Education Press: Cambridge, Mass. SS/L-18ITEB 2010 Differentiated Instruction Summer Program The heart of school improvement rests in improving daily teaching and learning practices in schools, including engaging students and their families.

  9. Goals of the DI Professional Learning Strategy • To increase the instructional knowledge and skills of educators of grades 7-12 so that they can meet the diverse needs of all students; • To build awareness of Differentiated Instruction as a framework for planning and implementing effective instruction, assessment and evaluation practices as outlined in the Ontario curriculum; • To facilitate and support job-embedded professional learning opportunities through collaborative inquiry. SS/L-18ITEB 2010 Differentiated Instruction Summer Program

  10. A New Definition of Professional Learning Good teaching occurs when educators on teams are involved in a cycle in which they analyze data, determine student and adult learning goals based on that analysis, design joint lessons that use evidence-based strategies, have access to coaches for support in improving their classroom instruction, and then assess how their learning and teamwork affects student achievement. From: A New Definition, JSD, Fall 2009 SS/L-18ITEB 2010 Differentiated Instruction Summer Program

  11. Key Messages DOING KNOWING • Deepen and widen implementation with a focus on classrooms – in all subject areas by all teachers • Assessment drives differentiated instruction; professional learning about differentiated instruction and assessment should happen at the same time. • Integrating literacy, mathematics, assessment and evaluation and differentiated instruction will ensure alignment of and support for your work in improving student achievement • Ministry directions, initiatives and policies are aligned and integrated (e.g., DI, Growing Success, Learning for All) 11 SS/L-18ITEB 2010 Differentiated Instruction Summer Program

  12. Catholic Board Learning Plan (CBLP) 2010-2013 • SMART Goal: Increasing student achievement on EQAO assessments (3, 6 & 9) by 5% by 2013 • Foundational Practices: • Ontario Curriculum and ministry support documents are the primary sources for all mathematics instruction. • The mathematical processes described in the Ontario Curriculum are used throughout all mathematics instruction. • A minimum of 60 minutes is provided daily for mathematical instruction. • The diverse learning needs of EACH student are supported by mathematical instruction, assessment and evaluation that are varied in nature and provide multiple opportunities to demonstrate learning. • The comprehensive list of strategies that relate to effective mathematics instruction are used regularly. • Expected Practice: By June 2013, all mathematics instruction will be delivered using a 3-part lesson model

  13. Corners Differentiated • Go to the corner that best describes you and form groups of three • Share with the participants in your corner: • Courses you teach • Prior experience with DI • What is one fun thing you did this summer? • Where do you see yourself with DI? • What adjective would you use to describe your comfort with DI?
