Classroom Structures that Support Effective Differentiation

 

In a differentiated classroom, the student is at the core of teacher planning. That means, among other things, that the teacher aspires to help each student grow in knowledge, understanding, and skill as efficiently and effectively as possible. It means that the teacher wants to help each student develop his or her voice as much as possible and develop continually in autonomy or independence as a learner. It means that there will be times when students will need to work on assignments designed to address their particular strengths, needs, and/or interests. Placing the student at the center of instructional planning, therefore, calls for a classroom that is both flexible and predictable. In this session, we will examine several tools that enable teachers to understand and address the needs of individual students and/or small groups of students while also addressing the needs of the class as a whole.
