TOPIC 2: DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONS BY NORA DALAPNAS
·
Differentiated instruction
is a systematic approach to planning curriculum and instruction for
academically diverse learners… with the goals of honouring each student’s
learning needs and maximizing each student’s learning capacity.
·
In DI, a teacher proactively
plans varied approaches to what students need to learn, how they will learn it
and how they will express what they have learned in order to increase the
likelihood that each student will learn
as much as he can as efficiently
as possible.
·
The goals of
differentiation are:
1.Every student will make continuous
progress no matter how old she is or
what levels her knowledge and skills
are as she begins the unit.
2. Every student will become a lifelong learner.
Differentiated classrooms feel right
to students who learn in different ways and at different rates and who bring to
school different talents and interests.
·
DI is permitting students
to opt out of material they already know and progress at their own pace through
new material.
·
The first step in making your classroom a DI
class is to do a formative assessment to
create an individual profile of every student in the class. Assessment should
be on-going and diagnostic to provide data on readiness for particular skills.
·
In DI teachers modify the content,
process or product along with the learning area.
