This document outlines a differentiation class for the 2014-2015 school year. It provides the student objectives of critically thinking, collaborating effectively, problem solving, and knowing their strengths and weaknesses. It details expectations that all assignments must be completed and turned in on time. Assessments will be done through student journals that ask questions about comprehension and self-reflection. Safety is the top priority, and the school has installed an ADT security system. Contact information is provided for Susan Fritz, the teacher.

Social and Emotional
Our classes are big on community projects.

we really are. We want to bring out your
child's and our students’ family history, lan-
guage, food and interests. Please join us as we
plan and prepare for our monthly community
shop known as 4U2Know , it is a great way to
know “who’s who’s” in the classrooms.

municating why or why not?
Do you need help with this? Why or why not?

What Is Differentia-
tion?
In my own words differentiation in-
struction is understanding how to get
the content into a process for every
student to know what it is they need to
understand in order to pass a test, a
task, an experiment or a review that
will result in his/her educational suc-
cess. The top 3 important characteris-
tics are : Content, methods used, and
what do my students know? Or don’t
know?
Our Classes are Safe
In today’s world safety is number one for
your child and our students. We now have
installed in our schools the best ADT secu-
rity system, with every moment we moni-
tor what is going on inside our schools in
the hallways, classrooms and offices.
