Enhancing Learning Through Differentiated Instruction: Strategies and Examples

This presentation offers an in-depth understanding of Differentiated Instruction (DI) and its importance in education. It addresses the key questions: What do we understand by DI? Why implement it? How can educators effectively prepare for it? The session includes practical tools and two lesson examples: one on Earth/Space Science focused on the Origins of the Ocean and another on Chemistry discussing Gas Laws. Participants will learn how to group students based on their understanding and create engaging, tailored lessons that promote success for all learners.

  4. Why Doing DI?

  5. How Do We Do It?

  6. How Do We Prepare for DI?

  7. Preparation Tools

  8. Example #1 Earth/Space Science Lesson: Origins of the Ocean Jigsaw

  9. Example #2 Chemistry Lesson: Gas Law

  10. Great DI Example • After the “I do”, lecture on Boyle’s and Charle’s Laws, students are given a small quiz using the Active Expression Voters. • Immediately, the teacher is able to designate their groups: • 1) The low group will do the Gas Law Gizmo to acquire greater conceptual understanding. • 2) The medium groups will do practice problems assisted by the teacher. • 3) The high group will work individually on Gas Laws problems on white boards and will present and explain to the whole class.

  11. Example #3 Physical Science: Force and Motion • This is a more elaborate DI • It consist of 6 different stations. Several levels of low, med, and high

  12. Activity • In your groups within the same course: • 1) examine the examples provided, • 2) write down 3 observations • 3) be ready to share out with all

  13. Follow-Up • Now you should be ready to create your own lesson. • Before you leave, discuss with your groups which benchmark is your lowest and will like to prepare a DI lesson. • On your own, think how would you prepare this lesson and the tools that you will use. • Bring this information to your next Common Planning and be ready to share and plan a great DI lesson.
