 Using Learning Menus to Differentiate Learning


Learning menus are a great way to add some challenge and pizzazz to your everyday curriculum and differentiate learning for a variety of student needs at the same time. A menu is a content-focused set of options from which students choose activities and tasks on which to work. Menus provide instant opportunities for differentiation because students choose which activities they would like to complete based on their own interest and ability levels.

When students have choices in the activities they wish to complete, they are more focused on the learning that leads to their chosen product! Come to learn the importance of student voice and choice in helping pupils achieve learning goals.

Learning Outcomes - Participants will…

  • Explore how to create learning opportunities to engage ALL pupils with a variety of easy-to-implement choice boards to support differentiation
  • Learn practical techniques of how to differentiate instruction based on student interest and learning style designed to motivate even the most reluctant pupils
  • Incorporate low-prep and easy-to-implement menus targeted toward important learning goals and instructional options
