#R10AdaptEDU A3: Process differentiation motivates kids to learn. Everyone is learning the same concept, just not in the same way.

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#R10AdaptEDU A2: Tiering should be done for the "big idea" objectives. It allows kids to take more ownership in their learning 😉

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#R10AdaptEDU A1: I have 4 rotations and our classes are grouped by ability. Within each class, I also group them by (un)mastered concepts.

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#r10adaptedu A3: Differentiation is not a dirty word; It's working smarter-not harder ;)

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#r10adaptedu A2: Product options are important to keep kids interested and reveal their best effort to see their depth of understanding.

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#r10adaptedu A1: I use rubrics to assess writing and projects. We also reteach and redo assignments based on standards missed.

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#r10adaptedu A3: Our classes are ability-based after benchmarking. I teach four classes similar concepts but in different ways.

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#r10adaptedu A2: "Differentiated Instruction is a way for us to meet all the different kinds of kids that come into our class each day."

[Laura Sides @lasides08]

#r10adaptedu A1: I want to find ways to help raise the ceiling of all my learners. My goal is to increase mastery in a purposeful way.
