  • Differentiated Instruction in Secondary Education: A Systematic Review of Research Evidence
    • nikkilh
       
      Differentiated instruction in secondary education
  • Differentiation is a philosophy of teaching rooted in deep respect for students, acknowledgment of their differences, and the drive to help all students thrive. Such ideas imply that teachers proactively modify curricula, teaching methods, resources, learning activities, or requirements for student products to better meet students' learning needs
  • Although the concept of differentiated instruction is quite well-known, teachers find it difficult to grasp how differentiated instruction should be implemented in their classrooms

Tier 3 Highly targeted individualized and intensive interventions 1% – 5% The specific nature of a child’s difficulty must be more closely examined, which is typically done through formal educational/academic evaluations.

  • If your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), the IEP team will meet every year to bring it up to date. One of the first steps is to update your child’s present levels of academic achievement and functional performance. Some states/school districts refer to this as PLAAFP, some as PLOP and others as PLP.

To reach girls in classroom, align practices to specific learning needs - kappanonline.org - 1 views

  • Characteristics of lessons Clear lessons; Lessons relevant to students’ lives; and Collaborative lessons. Particular activities Class discussions; Hands-on; Multimodal; Creativity and the creative arts; and Out-of-class experiences.
  • Among the eight components that we identified as contributing to effective and engaging lessons, the components reflected in the above narrative are relevance to this girl’s life and group collaboration.
  • One central finding of Reichert and Hawley (2010b) is that boys elicit the kinds of teaching they need.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Teachers designed lessons that captured student attention, which led to more meaningful classroom learning. This suggests that girls, like boys, elicit the pedagogy they need, though perhaps without (overtly) displaying resistance to the degree that boys do, and that both male and female teachers of girls are especially attuned to what girls need in terms of pedagogy and activities that maximize girls’ engagement.

      How can I work to meet the needs of boys AND girls in my classroom? What are the practices that will enhance the learning of them both without taking away from the other in any way?
  •  
    Relating lessons to real life, having clear lessons that are collaborative, including class discussions, creating hands on activities, including creative arts and out of classroom experiences can better enhance the education of girl learners.

    Hi there, Joe! I'm so glad that you posed this question in response to this great resource. As somebody with several ACEs myself, I think that using a good mix of empathy and sympathy is a great place to start. Put yourself in their shoes and think of what you would have liked for your teacher to have done to help you, whether or not you share that experience with the student. Also, your colleagues are on your team, so pick their brains for what works for them. Lastly, educate yourself and learn about what you can do for your student, and from your student! Sometimes it can be as simple as asking your student what you can do to help and hopefully they could find a way to communicate their needs.

  • "Acceleration is one of the most curious phenomena in the field of education. I can think of no other issue in which there is such a gulf between what research has revealed and what most practitioners believe. The research on acceleration is so uniformly positive, the benefits of appropriate acceleration so unequivocal, that it is difficult to see how an educator could oppose it."
