BRITTANY’S TAKE AWAY
DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONIs for all students
Make sure to let parents know how the
classroom may be run
Allow for time to interact in groups and
individualized
I believe that DI can be individualized as
well
Keeping students interested and engaged
with different methods of learning similar
topics
CON’T
Implementing more Nonlinguistic
Representations in my class
Allowing students to be involved in
feedback process
DI is for all students. Some people believe that it labels
kids and parents do not want their child performing in it.
I have had to talk with a parent about what this really
was. Her child needed DI and she did not understand why.
Once she realized that it was helping her child she was for
it.
It is important to let parents know about a teachers way
of teaching students.
I believe that it is important for cooperative groups and
individualized groups.
Teaching first grade I thought groups would be fun and
engaging.
I have had a hard time with my students getting along in
groups. It has been a surprise for me at such a small age. They
have even been with different people and still not got along. So
groups is hard to do in my room. I am still trying to do them it is
just more of a challenge.
I do a lot of interactive things with centers and
some of the centers are grouped during reading
time.
I also have individualized centers that work well.
I have used think pair share and it has worked
really well in my class
NONLINGUISTIC MODELS
A model I would like to use more is a graphic
organizer. It is really important for students to be
familiar with them and I do not feel that I use them
enough. We are starting to get into more subjects
that I can use them in. A couple are cause and
effect, and fact/opinion.
FEEDBACK PROCESS
I try to give feedback on most all student papers but
I do not do it in a quick enough manner.
I am going to try to work on meeting with students
on a one-to one basis more often.
I am hoping that this will help them to give me
feedback on how they think they may need to improve
in. What would they like to improve more in?
CONCLUSION
In conclusion DI is a very hot topic for all
educators and whether or not some believe it is good
or not all students should be given the opportunity to
try new learning strategies.
