Differentiated Instruction There are all levels of ability in this class. Our third
grade classroom includes a cluster of identified gifted students. Identified students attend gifted lab twice weekly with our gifted coordinator, Mrs. Hodge.
Our school’s philosophy is to meet the varying needs of all students. I have attended and taught differentiated teacher training , and will continue to attend many training sessions on differentiated instruction.
In our class, I determine the readiness of students and vary assignments to move students forward from their own point of readiness. Students need to master foundational concepts before tackling more complex issues. Therefore, sometimes different students will be doing different assignments.
ReadingThe Comprehension Toolkit Focuses on “reading as
thinking” Builds skills and
competence in key thinking strategies for increased comprehension
Supports time for shared reading, guided reading (small groups), independent reading, and collaborative discussion and sharing
Provides opportunities for students to read in a variety of genres including nonfiction.
Matches students with “just right” reading texts
