Differentiation is:
Varying instruction and assessment to accommodate differences in learning styles and skill levels.
The 3 Learning Styles
The 3 Learning Styles
VisualAuditoryTactile/Kinesthetic
Visual
This is the student who needs to see examples on the board, on the overhead, or within a power point.
This student learns by reading notes.
This student will be able to remember what they have seen.
Auditory
This is the student who needs to hear problems, definitions, and explanations.
This student learns by hearing and paraphrasing information.
This student will be able to remember what they have heard.
These students make use of acronyms.
Tactile/Kinesthetic
This is the student who needs to move or touch during the learning process.
This student learns by taking notes, or using manipulatives in a lesson.
This student will be able to remember what they have written or what they have done.
They frequently doodle while taking notes, or will take a lot of notes.
They will move around as they talk or as they think—they fidget and often need breaks in order to move.
Great, so how do I engage them?
Visual learners
Present written notes and information.Have the student read from the textbook—they
need to read while the auditory will benefit from hearing the text.
When giving hand outs, make them as visually appealing as possible.
Encourage them to use highlighters to color main ideas.
Use of different colors of chalk, marker, etc. is very helpful to them
Activities for Visual Learners
Diagrams Cartoons Posters
Flash cards Games Collages
Bulletin boards Power points Graphs
Charts Crossword puzzles
Recipes
Auditory Learners
Remember: only about 30 % of students are auditory learners, but they will remember 75% of what they hear.
This is the type of student who benefits from hearing other students read out loud.
This student will do better if he/she can do an oral presentation instead of written report.
This student will process information easily if flashcards of different colors for different types are used.
Activities for Auditory Learners
Oral presentations
Teaching the class
Verbal games
Songs/ raps Peer tutoring Demonstrations
“talk a mile a minute”
Brief activities Activities based on tv shows
Caution: too much noise/ silence can easily distract
Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners
Can remember what they do, what they experience with their hands
Have good motor coordinationEnjoy making and creatingWill take notes to keep busy and on track.Enjoy using computersRemember things if they can move around while
learning… might pace while trying to review.
Activities for Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners
Field trips Calculators Games
Posters Modeling Science labs
Chair hop Surveys “Make” the game
Projects Math aerobics Role playing
So now that I’ve taught them, how do I assess what they know?
What do you do that works well with various learning styles ?
