Differentiated Instruction Across the K12 Classroom

1. Ozobots are a great tool to support emerging readers ability to decipher code.

2. Keva Planks encourage students to collaborate while engineering design solutions as a team.

3. Providing students opportunites to build their learning environment makes it a place where they want to spend time.

The opportunity to level-up in my classroom happens everyday. Understanding my students curisosity and desire to dive deeper into the Big Idea of what is being taught is the ultimate goal of using Differnetiated Instruction.

I choose to use Differentiated Instruction to support both my formative and summative evaluations of students. 

The Top 3 Reasons to Use Differentiated Instruction Incldue:

1. Differentiated Instruction provides opportunity to be proactive in meeting the students needs.  This month I will use a class set of Ozobots to engage my K12 students in learning how to decipher codes and design computer programs.
2. Differentiated Instruction requires active collaboration among the students. The opportunity to create a student centered learning environment is the outcome of a well planned lesson. I know where to stop and let the students lead. There is always a formative assessment before letting them explore independently. Watching my kids create new knowledge and comprehension is the feedback I need to create authentic and meaningful summative assessments.
3. Differentiated Instruction allows students to engage organically and dynamically.  Students are given a voice and choice in how to set up the classroom during the first few weeks of school. Ownership is an empowering reason to fully engage in our classroom.
