Teaching and Learning
“If
a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we
should teach the way they learn.”- Ignacio Estrada
What Differentiated Instruction IS
Having high expectations for all
students.
Providing multiple assignments
within units that are oriented toward
students with different levels of
achievement.
With teacher direction , allowing
students to choose, ways to learn and
how to demonstrate what they have
learned.
Permitting students to demonstrate
mastery of material they already
know and progress at their own pace
through new material.
What Differentiated Instruction IS
Structuring class assignments
so they require high levels of
critical thinking but permit a
range of responses.
Assigning some activities
geared to different learning
styles, levels of thinking, levels
of interest, and levels of
achievement.
When appropriate, providing
students with opportunities to
have choices about what they
learn.
What Differentiated Instruction is NOT
 Absolute individualization. It isn’t a different
lesson plan for each student each day.
 Assigning the same work to all students most
of the time.
 Using top students as assistant teachershaving students teach material they have
mastered to others who have not mastered it.
 Assigning more work at the same level to
high-achieving students.
 Individualizing all of the time. Often, it is
preferable for students to work as a whole
class.

Why Use Technology to Differentiate
Instruction?
But What Tools Do I Use?
Now....ask these questions
• What tools do my
students know or might
they learn to use?
• What digital technologies
are available to the
students in the classroom,
at school, at home?
• What digital technologies
can students bring with
them to school to assist in
their learning?
• Will the digital
technologies that are part
of the options for students
really improve their
learning relative to
standards, objectives, and
intended learning results?
