  1. Differentiation for All Learners Enrichment Program Planning

  2. A Little History Lesson Whole-group lessons geared toward one achievement level Textbook-based instruction Most learning culminates at the knowledge level of Bloom’s Taxonomy

  3. Future at STM Differentiated instruction Core Curriculum based instruction Student-centered classrooms

  4. Differentiation: the why • Classroom data • Curriculum-based activities • Engages students

  5. Differentiation: the how • Grade level curriculum objectives • Pre-tests/work samples • Lesson plans and activities • Student centered classroom • Clear rubrics and expectations • Fluid movement

  6. Create: integrate, write, rewrite, collaborate, simulate, test Evaluate: support, decide, recommend, find errors, defend, measure Analyze: compare, classify, infer, contrast, appraise Apply: solve, calculate, illustrate, dramatize, paint, change, teach Understand: explain, describe, interpret, summarize, predict, give examples Knowledge: define, identify, describe, label, list, name, match, select, memorize

  7. What we are already doing: • Math learning stations in 4th grade • Centers in grades K-2 Learning Station and Center activities can be leveled using Bloom’s Taxonomy as a basis for activity selection • Math options in Middle School • Small group activities in SS in Middle School

  8. Where we are going: • Staff development- December 5th • Initial focus on Math and Language Arts in the Elementary grades, and a focus in each subject area in the Middle School

  9. The tough road ahead: • Added assessment development/analysis and planning time • Time to access resources and resource sharing • Change in how instructional time is used

  10. Benefits: • Students are engaged and enjoy learning at their appropriate achievement level • Lower instance of negative behaviors • Students are able to shine in their areas of strength and grow in their areas of weakness • Teachers become even more familiar with their students’ academic needs and are better equipped to respond to them • As one teacher put it, “It is just more fun to teach this way!”
