Differentiation of Core Instruction at Tier 1
1. Daily differentiation: high-impact instructional strategies for all… Instructional VARIETY.
2. Targeted interventions: adjusting instruction as needed for:¨Students not progressing as expected¨High-ability students
Daily Differentiation at Tier One
• Expanding teachers’ instructional repertoire can maximize success for ALL students at Tier 1… •And possibly PREVENT the need for future Tier 2 INTERVENTIONS.

fNIRS (Near Infared Spectroscopy) is a safe and innovative method of measuring brain activity by projecting light from outside the head into the cerebral cortex, and then measuring the properties of the light that is reflected back.
Three “Brain Basics”
Daily Differentiation at Tier One - Webinar #1 Begin With the Brain
BEGIN WITH THE BRAIN: Brain-Friendly Key # 1 LESS STRESS:
Safe and Secure Environment
THE STRESS MESS!
Anxiety and Pressure Can
Minimize Learning
①Perceived threats, stress, emotional upsets, isolation, and unpleasant physical environments trigger a “reflex response” and can minimize the brain’s capabilities to learn.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT OR FREEZE
Daily Differentiation at Tier One - Webinar #1 Begin With the Brain
When responding to true danger or perceived threat, brains are less capable of doing any of the following:
n Being creativen Seeing or hearing environmental cluesn Remembering and accessing prior learningn Engaging in complex tasks and open-ended thinkingn Sorting and filtering out unimportant datan Planning and mentally rehearsingn Detecting patternsn Communicating effectively
Daily Differentiation at Tier One - Webinar #1 Begin With the Brain
What parts of YOUR brain are “more dense” than others?
B-C Key#2: DO THE REAL THING! Provide multi-sensory experiences
in enriched environments.n Provide complex, interactive, first-hand
learning experiences.n Make sure content is meaningful and
relevant.n Provide a wide variety of input and resources.n Allow adequate TIME!
BEGIN WITH THE BRAIN: Brain-Friendly Key # 3: Actively Process New
Learning in a Variety of Ways
� “Use it or lose it” is true!Process new learning in a variety of ways to assure long-term retention. Use collaboration, choice and instructional variety (differentiation) to expand new skills and concepts.

Daily Differentiation at Tier One - Webinar #1 Begin With the Brain
Provide Reflection OpportunitiesAny activity through which the brain recalls a concept, skill, or process. Reflection activities will prompt the brain to re-stimulate the new connections among the neurons, which helps strengthen them.
n Discussionsn Summarize/Presentn Interactive Notebooksn Projectsn Graphic Organizersn Games
Instructional Variety
n Limited Direct Instructionn Novelty, Student Engagementn Non-linguistic Representationsn Multi-modal / Multiple Intelligencesn Choices
Key #3: USE IT OR LOSE IT! Actively process new learning
in a variety of waysn Structure frequent opportunities for students to do
REFLECTION on the product and process of their learning.
n Provide daily activities that allow students personal CHOICE in how they process and store new knowledge.
n Orchestrate a variety of COLLABORATION opportunities. 51
Tier 1 of the RTI Model
This consists of high-quality teaching using differentiated instruction and data-based targeted interventions to ensure learning for all students.
