11. Understanding the Individual Differentiation: “By definition, differentiation is wary of approaches to teaching and learning that standardize. Standard-issue students are rare , and educational approaches that ignore academic diversity in favor of standardization are likely to be counterproductive in reaching the full range of learners.” – Tomlinson (2006)

34. Creativity “ Chief Executives believe that – more than rigor, management discipline, integrity, or even vision – navigating an increasingly complex world will require creativity.” 80% of employers seeking creative employees cannot find them to hire… IBM 2010 Global CEO Survey 1500 CEO’s from 60 Countries

68. Creating A Custom Playlist for Students Class lessons: Traditional lessons for the whole class help introduce a lesson or reteach material as needed. Assessments: Teachers conduct regular formative assessments, using some quick digital applications and analytic tools, to determine students’ skills and academic needs. Skill-building games: Computer-based games that focus on developing specific skills like vocabulary or multiplication facts. Group projects: Students collaborate on assignments using technology and traditional research and presentation tools. Independent Research: Assignments outside of class using online and traditional resources give students the chance to guide their own learning. Online courses: Virtual learning could give students access to credit-recovery or accelerated courses, as well as enrichment and intervention activities. Tutoring: One-on-one or small-group tutoring sessions, on-site or virtually, aid students who are struggling academically. Site Visits: Students can tap into outside educational resources, such as museums, libraries, and local historical sites. Blogs: Students can write blog entries to demonstrate what they’ve learned, outline their research, and communicate with their teachers. ETC Experts recommend teachers utilize a variety of tools and activities to address personalized learning:
