Editor's Notes

  1. SET UP – Print content area tent cards and place them on tables in the room. As participants enter the room, direct them to sit in the content area with which they are most likely to work. Introduce the topic of the workshop and yourself Have participants sit according to content area if possible. 3.Opening Activity – Have everyone stand up ask them to sit down if you say something that applies to them. Read these statements one at a time: I differentiated my instruction I have given a pre-test or a diagnostic assessment. I have tutored a child I have analyzed similarities and differences in students’ test scores I have given students different books to read. I have taught students in a small group Hopefully at the end no one (unless they have not taught before) is left standing. Make the point that this proves that everyone already differentiates and gives them a lens through which to view differentiation. It’s not impossible. I do it intuitively. Now I just need to do it intentionally.
