STRATEGY
Differentiated Instruction
Get to know your students' learning styles.
Be aware of the variety of learning styles.
Some students are tactile or hands-on learners while others do well with the written word.
Some students study best alone; some in a group.
When do they study best?
In the morning?
In the evening?
Where do they do their best work?
Where do they have difficulty?
Create the right classroom environment.
Flexible seating charts.
Don't put your weakest learners in back of the class.
Develop a positive class culture with encouraging reinforcement of events that take place in the classroom.
Try mixing up groups.
Occasionally group students by similar speeds or interests.
The next time change the group so that it is by mixed needs or interests.
Allow students to leave a group if they are justified in feeling that they are out of place.
Test students on what they have or have not learned.
Be aware that the prime focus of a test is to determine what to do next.
If material has not been mastered, then there may be a need to reteach it before moving forward with the curriculum.
Differentiate your questions by developing higher level thinking questions for students who can answer them and then adjust some questions for students with greater needs.
Adjust the response time for students who need more time to process the question.
