Differentiation is very important for teachers to be aware of because they need to be aware of how to teach their students properly. There are so many different learning styles that students come into the classroom with, and it is the teachers job to be able to teach every student correctly and efficiently. No matter what grade a teacher is teaching each student is going to be on a different learning level. And the teacher needs to be able to bring each student up to the same level.
Real short and sweet blog post! The links that you put in really went with your post. I like the collage picture you put in that described differentiation or teaching in general!
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome how just reading a little bit about differentiation has helped you so much to understand the concept of differentiation as a whole. I really liked a lot of your response to actually comprehending the idea. I agree it is really important to keep differentiation in the classroom alive.
ReplyDeleteI love how to the point you are about what differentation is and why it needs to be done. As well as how you got to understanding that the students are a diverse group. How does technology play a part in differentation and in the classroom? Have you had any personal experiences with differentation? I think that would help to build more upon it and explain a little more, if I wasn't in class with you I wouldn't know what this was and how it could be done.
