Provide Productive Struggle while Differentiating
Differentiate using not only similar abiltities or heterogeneous groups but make it sustainable for you. Plan open-ended activities so learners are engaged in choosing the pathway that works best for them.
KISS - Keep It Simple Strategies
- Identify your desired results.
- How will students show mastery?
- Create a menu of choices.
- Math (provide manipulatives, number lines, grid paper, calculators)
- Literacy (alternative story endings, journaling, character development, alternate interpretations)
- Stations / Learning Centers (limit time at each station to a maximum of 20-30 minutes)
- Incorporate online quizzes or games for practice (Kahoot, Quizalize - data collection)
- Peer Feedback and Revision
- Teacher Table for enrichment, remediation, or redo work. (allow students to volunteer for this station when they recognize they need help)
- Students provide a self-reflection of their work
- Students complete a Google Form, where they submit a photo of what they had worked on, along with a brief explanation of how they connected this to the overall concept or theme.
- Provide a heterousgeneous group station where students work together on a common task. You may need to provide prompts and examples on how to empathetically work together.
- Provide detailed instructions for each Learning Center
- Provide rubrics and templates
- Know the maximum number of students at each Learning Center
- Virtual Learning Centers are okay!
