I belief looking a student readiness will allow me to adjust to the students strengths and weaknesses on a daily basis. Unlike before when I would at the students' ability and basically places a child a level the whole year.

Q3: “Thinking in terms of ‘student readiness’ NOT ‘student ability’ is beneficial to both student and teacher.” How do you plan to shift your thinking toward working to readiness as opposed to ability? #HSHSDifferentiationChat20

I think a big one for me is making is assessments that can effectively evaluate the students retention of the learned content. Using all three types of assessment (diagnostic, formative, and summative.)

Q4: Learning environment, curriculum, assessment, & instruction “must be shaped & cultivated to provide opportunities for every student to maximize his or her learning capacity.” After this reading, how do you plan to start doing this? #HSHSDifferentiationChat20

[Sean Beechaum @Slbeech]

I am using some of the information I have read to start trying to be a bit more flexible with assignments and letting the students have more of a voice in the class. Giving the children options in how they get the course content.

Q2: “Differentiation can be accurately described as classroom practice w a balanced emphasis on individual students & course content.” How do you plan to deliver quality content while maximizing individual student capacity? #HSHSDifferentiationChat20

[Sean Beechaum @Slbeech]

I guess I thought of differentiation as just creating different way of learning according to learning styles, it evolves so much more like environment and culture just to name a few.

Q1: “Differentiation is a philosophy- a way of thinking about teaching and learning. It is, in fact, a set of principles.” How has this reading from Dr. Tomlinson most affected your philosophy on differentiation? #HSHSDifferentiationChat20
