Rationale: This artifact, Facilitators Training Presentation, is a PowerPoint on differentiation that I presented to my co-workers. This PowerPoint presentation is evidence of this standard because it demonstrates a commitment to meet the educational needs of the students in their classroom in a fair and equitable manner. The goal of this presentation was to educate my co-workers on the importance of understanding the learning styles and meeting the needs of their individuals in their classrooms. After this presentation, my co-workers had a better understanding of differentiation and how to incorporate differentiation instruction in their classroom. R5

The RTI model relates to differentiated instruction because both concepts encourage teachers to provide multiple avenues for student success. With differentiated instruction, teachers are encouraged to take a key concept and provide different styles of learning for their students, knowing that each student learns in a different way. It also encourages teachers to sometimes change their teaching style in order to reach the educational needs of each student every year. Within the RTI model, teachers are encouraged to understand these student differences, which may often times be from learning disabilities or behavioral needs. Because of this, they are encouraged to put an action plan in place for struggling students that provide alternative ways to learn concepts, in order to help that student achieve educational success.
Because of the diversity that exists among our student population, it is important to offer an education that meets those diverse needs. This includes fostering an appreciation for the unique qualities students bring to the school community. Through working collaboratively in the classroom, students grow both academically and emotionally as they achieve project goals. In order to meet student needs, teachers must be prepared with the latest in professional development strategies to differentiate instruction among all learners. It is the responsibility of the district to provide comprehensive professional development and resources equitably to the teaching
How does differentiation support or hinder pupils’ progress in writing? A study examining a school in Brent. Abstract: “We used to teach subjects and classes – now we teach students (Petty, 2004).” Differentiation is recognised as a key part of effective teaching in writing but there seems to be a little general agreement about what it implies, or what it might look like in the classroom.
Demonstrated use of current and innovative teaching practices that demonstrate high level understanding and application of differentiation for all learners across literacy and numeracy programs. Throughout my educational career I have consistently used current and innovative teaching practices acquired through professional development, enabling me to successfully differentiate for learners across all six KLA’ including literacy and numeracy. Implementing these innovative teaching practices ensures a high standard of student outcomes. I have achieved this by: • Implementing NearPod lessons, in conjunction with BYOD school programs to understand, review learning experiences and provide feedback for all learners.
Benefits of Co-Facilitation Stress management: Long meetings can be truly exhausting for one facilitator. Rotating the facilitation duties is a good way to care for yourself and your group. Also, the chances of burnout can be reduced by working with a co-leader. Letting go: If you tend to believe that "I have to do it all myself, or it doesn't get done right," practicing co-facilitation may help you break this pattern of control. Also, if the facilitator emerges by a group member to the degree that counter-transference is present (Corey, 2010, p. 46).
Help is also provided for students who have difficulty with math. Two students were pulled out of Mrs. C’s class in order to receive help from one of the school’s math specialists. b. Teaching strategies Criterion: “The teacher understands how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners” (Pugach, 2009, p.
From all the diverse backgrounds, learning styles and needs in the program, there were many obstacles that I had to overcome to create a lesson that would
PERSONAL TRAINING Name: Institution: Abstract This paper aims at pointing out the importance of a personal trainer as he or she is an acknowledged individual in the lives of many. A personal trainer plays a major role in the daily lives of many people. The study also points out the advancement levels of a personal trainer, which are the entry-level, the mid-level and the executive-level.
A teacher is no longer the source of learning, rather a facilitator of learning. As a teacher I should know my student and understand that all students possess diverse backgrounds, by knowing your students, I will be able to decide which teaching style and strategies are needed to maximize their learning. I strongly believe it is vital to encourage the integration of culture, ethnicity, and life experiences into personal and corporate learning. I believe it is important to develop and implement innovative strategies in teaching. I feel that student learning is enriched and confidence increased with the utilization of
More time in the lesson could of been spent building on the responses of the other students in the class. I have learned about differentiation through this lesson. For my students of concern it was important for me to repeat directions and the definition of Manifest Destiny. It was also important for me to discuss what it meant to analyze and to write what we discussion about analyzing on the board so that students can refer to it, when analyzing the picture. The use of collaborative of learning groups also provided a support to the students of concern by allowing them to discuss, clarify ideas, and transfer knowledge from one group member to another.
Memo To: Susan L. Eller From: Kaitlyn Mercer Subject: Evaluation of Using the Scaffolding and Differentiation Instructional Methods with English Language Learners for Analytical Research Report Date: June 27, 2015 Project Overview As my term project, I have been evaluating the issue of how to effectively teach English Language Learners (ELLs) in a high school setting by examining the scaffolding teaching method as well as the differentiation teaching method. I have been assessing both of these teaching methods by examining their flexibility in regards to allowing students’ needs to be met, ease of implementation of each teaching method into the classroom, and the effectiveness of how of each method will help the students learn and complete
Differentiation, with respect to instruction, means tailoring it to meet individual needs of the students. Teachers can differentiate content, process, products, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction. Teachers differentiate the four classroom elements based on student readiness, interest, or learning profile. (Tomlinson 2000). Differentiated instruction can be known as an organizing framework in teaching and learning which calls for a major restructuring in the classroom and syllabus, if done in the proper way, its benefits will transgress the costs.
Description Reflection is a necessary component in learning to regulate opinion, feelings, and actions. Reflection links experience and knowledge by providing an opportunity to explore areas of concern in a critical way and to make adjustments based on these reflections (Knowles Z., Tyler G., 2006). I will be using the Gibbs G (1988) Learning by Doing: A guide to teaching and learning methods (Davies S., 2012).
Plan for Instruction For each of the main areas of concern, a brief plan has been developed. Each plan includes a goal, as well as instructional approaches suggested to assist Mario’s reading proficiency. However, it should be pointed that one of the most important recommendations overall is to have Mario do “lot of reading in appropriate texts, texts that are not too difficult and that they readily comprehend, learn from and enjoy” (Graves, Juel, Graves & Dewitz, 2011, p. 18). Providing Mario with options of books that are “interesting and just a bit challenging” can increase his motivation and place him in the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) to improve and further develop his reading skills (Graves, Juel, Graves & Dewitz, 2011, p. 229).
“In the adult basic education program, learners develop their reading, writing and math skills and work towards personal goals in area such as employment, parenting, health, or increased independence” (“Programs” 1).It offers great opportunity for learners who is English as a second language to develop and integrate more fully into America society by improving their English literacy and civics skills. “Foreign-born adults improve their ability to practice in American life by developing their English language skills and their understanding of American life, government, history, and culture” (“Program”1).Moreover, the program provides career development services to adults who .are seeking to gain employment, retain their current employment or advance in their careers. Said Mary lynch, a human service coordinator. “The adult participants can receive individualized and tailored training services and support to help prepare them to take the GED exam, Virginia placement Test, and/ or enter into a college or industry specific training program.” Literacy provides Heal classes for learners to increase their knowledge healthcare Topics, medical terminology, and standard processes and practice.
