An Introduction to Differentiated InstructionMelinda Kolk
Differentiated instruction is not a single strategy or formula. It is a way of thinking about the diversity of learners in our classrooms and acting on this knowledge throughout the process of planning, implementing, and evaluating so that we can promote the deepest possible understanding for all students. This is the introductory presentation to a one-day workshop on Getting Started with Differentiated Instruction.

An overview icluding basic principles and references. It was presented during a workshop on Differentiation for EFL teachers of the Alpha Athens School district. (There are problems with the content in the slides, which is not properly viewed. I don't have a clue why this is happening. Should I upload the file in a different format?). My sincerest apologies, anyway..
Teacher Tested Strategies for Differentiated InstructionEdutopia
Most educators agree that differentiated instruction can dramatically help students to succeed, but good differentiation needs careful planning to make sure students of all abilities are engaged and it can be a challenge when teachers are already so pressed for time.
That's why we searched the Edutopia community for tips and strategies that can help with differentiating instruction.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
5. • The biggest mistake of
past centuries in teaching
has been to treat all
children as if they were
variants of the same
individual and thus to feel
justified in teaching them
all the same subjects in the
same way.

7. How do we successfully
meet the needs of the diverse
learners in our classroom?
22. Traditional vs. Differentiated Instruction
Assessment is most
common at the end
of learning to see
“who got it”
Assessment is on-going
and diagnostic to make
instruction more
responsive to learners’
needs
23. Traditional vs. Differentiated Instruction
A relatively narrow
sense of
intelligence prevails
Focus on multiple
forms of intelligences is
evident
25. Traditional vs. Differentiated Instruction
Coverage of
curriculum guides
drives instruction Student readiness,
interest, and learning
profile shape instruction
31. Essentials of Differentiated Instruction
• Knowledge of students’ readiness to work with
concepts, their interests and their learning
preferences and seeing all preferences as equally
valid.
• Teachers use a repertoire of instructional and
assessment strategies to meet the needs of
different learners.
32. Essentials of Differentiated Instruction
• All differentiated instruction activities are
equally engaging and respectful and take
approximately the same amount of time.
• Students are assessed before, during and after
their learning. Assessments inform next steps for
both teacher and student.
33. Essentials of Differentiated Instruction
• Even if students have choices in the ways that
they demonstrate their learning, teachers are
able to use a common assessment tool (e.g., a
rubric) so that all student work is judged against
the same assessment criteria.
34. Essentials of Differentiated Instruction
• A defining characteristic of a differentiated
classroom is flexibility. Students work in short-
term, flexible learning groups and educators are
flexible in creating and altering instructional
plans in response to learners.
35. Examples of Research Support for Differentiated
Instruction
• “When teachers recognize diversity
in their students, in terms of how
and what they identify with and
how they learn, and when this
recognition is reflected in how
teachers teach, students are free
to discover new and creative ways
to solve problems, achieve success,
and become lifelong learners.”
(Ferguson et al., 2005)
Differences in how
students learn have a
significant impact on
achievement.

Principle 1
36. Examples of Research Support for Differentiated
Instruction
• “We know that learning happens best
when a learning experience pushes
the learner a bit beyond his or her
independence level. When a student
continues to work on understanding
and skills already mastered, little if any
new learning takes place. On the other
hand, if tasks are far ahead of a
student’s current point of mastery,
frustration results and learning does
not.” (Howard, 1994; Vygotsky, 1962)
Learning begins
from a student’s
point of readiness.

school is inextricably linked
with his or her sense of
belonging and connection to
the school environment and
his or her relationships with
peers and teachers within
it.” (Schonert-Reich, 2000)
A safe, non-threatening
and respectful learning
environment is vital to
student achievement.

unit.” (Marzano, 2003, reporting
