LEVELS OF LEARNING
The level of dif ficulty of a question depends on the abilities of
an individual student , not an entire grade level
There is no universal level for all students in one class
WHAT IS DIFFERENTIATION?
Dif ferentiated instruction allows all students to access the
same classroom curriculum by providing entry points, learning
tasks, and outcomes that are tailored to students needs
( H a l l , S t r a n g ma n , & M eye r, 2 0 0 3 )

INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS
Change in classroom culture
Students supported each other and were willing to work with anyone
else in the classroom at any point in time
Self-selected groups
Students were more open to being a part of the intervention group
when they were able to self-select
NEXT STEPS
How do I use
differentiation
when I am by
myself in the
classroom?
How can the group
intervention
strategies be
transformed into
individual
activities?
