1.Anchoring Activities
A student may do at any time when they have completed their present assignment or when the teacher is busy with other students.
They may relate to specific needs or enrichment opportunities, including problems to solve or journals to write. They could also be part of a long term project.
2. Flexible Grouping
This allows students to be appropriately challenged and avoids labeling a students readiness as a static state. It is important to permit movement between groups because interest changes as we move from one subject to another
Homogenous/Ability
-Clusters students of similar abilities, level, learning style, or interest. -Usually based on some type of pre-assessment
Heterogeneous Groups
-Different abilities, levels or interest - Good for promoting creative thinking.
Whole Class
-Efficient way to present new content -Use for initial instruction
3. Compacting Curriculum
assessing a students knowledge and skills, and providing alternative activities for the student who has already mastered curriculum content.
A chaotic classroom
Just homogenous grouping
The Goal
and
Differentiation gets us away from one size fits all approach to curriculum and instruction that doesnt fit anyone
