What is Differentiated Instruction?
Differentiated Instruction Defined
“You will know that you are differentiating when you are providing more small group activities and these groups are flexible from activity to activity based on a variety of pre-assessment strategies. There will also be an increase in individual alternatives such as centers, contracts, independent study, and even homework assignments.
You will know that you have been successful at differentiating when: you begin to see yourself as an organizer of learning opportunities rather than the “sage on the stage”; your assessment and instruction become inseparable; you have created a community of learners who respect the individual differences within your classroom and can work independently according to the working conditions developed for your classroom; and finally, all your students, whether they are below, at, or above grade level, are feeling challenged and motivated to reach their maximum potential by learning new, meaningful, and essential concepts, principles, and skills.” – by Marianne Tillman
Universal Screening, school wide testing, allows teachers and administrators place and predict how students will perform on state tests.
An RTI model, Response to Intervention, should follow the universal screening test results.
