4 Learning Questions What do we want each students to know or be able to do? How will we know they have learned? What evidence do we have of the learning? How do we respond when students don’t learn or struggle? How do we respond to those who have already learned? 4 Learning Questions Student Learning Expectations FormativeAssessment Differentiation/Enrichment Response to Intervention PyramidofIntervention Learning Supports
Student Questions • What do I need to know? • Where am I now? • How do I get there? • What happens if I struggle or fail?
What do we want students to know and be able to do? • Standards/Benchmarks (Learning Outcomes) • Classroom SMART goals & SMART targets • How will we know if they can do it? • Formative assessments/cycle • Multiple data sets • Protocol for data analysis (ASW) • How will we respond when they can’t? • Core Instruction • Differentiated Instruction • Enrichment • Pyramid Response to Intervention • Learning Supports

Definition of Differentiated Instruction Differentiated Instruction is an approach that empowers both teachers and students to maximize learning for all by providing multiple pathways for students to take in information, make sense of ideas, and express what they have learned. Carefully crafted instruction responds to individual profiles, interests and readiness by modifying content, process and products. Through DI, teachers take into account who they teach, what they teach, where they teach and how they teach.
Definition of Differentiated Instruction • Differentiated Instruction (DI) is an approach that empowers both teachers and students to maximize learning for all by providing multiple pathways for students to take in information, make sense of ideas, and express what they have learned. • Carefully crafted instruction responds to individual profiles, interests and readiness by modifying content, process and products. • Through DI, teachers take into account who they teach, what they teach, where they teach and how they teach.
Teachers of effective heterogeneous classrooms recognize the similarities and differences in students and proactively plan for these differences. The basic premise of DI is that students are different.
