Adrienne Dowden Teaching Differently How we teach, what we teach, how students practice There is a big difference between teaching and practice. Delivery-content-instruction and practice On level, above level, and below level

Differentiate Instruction and Practice Grouping Students-grouping that is flexible according to student needs Curriculum-purchase curriculum that will help you differentiate Practice More

Teaching Differently is about Responding to Change Educating and Remediating at the same time

1. Response to Instruction Differentiating Instruction Response to Intervention Provide immediate corrective feedback so that students are not practicing errors. Be cautious of readability of text.

75-85% is great – Mastery is not 100%

Teaching Behaviors have not changed however student behaviors have changed

Teaching as a behavior is highly resistant to change.

Whole class lecture format is a norm. Practice activities are mostly paper/pencil.

Technology-Efficient, Informative, Individualized, Effective for Planning, Grouping

When programs are being sold-see if there are teachers who have been on the authoring team.

Is the feedback from program according to specific need

Develop oral language – let students listen to the story first


 * Keep in mind the lesson purpose is the most important**

Research supports more interaction and more talking, oral proficiency in English is critical

Repeated Exposure – scaffolding with oral discussion of the content

Student Card and Teacher Card – students take turns being teacher and student asking each other about what they read, learned, saw, etc. Telling synthesizes information Listening Comprehension happens first-teaching to the ear-receptive language Progress through curriculum with scaffolding of reading and writing reading first writing last

Divide your time in half-teaching table for instruction to work stations.

Teaching is a dialog.

The lesson purpose differentiates teaching from practice.

Myguide program for differentiation

Plan for the on, below, and above.

Management – curriculum – instruction – achievement Incorporate technology in the workstation

Create interactive, well-managed classrooms! Teaching Table Work Stations-working independently on a skill that has been learned Worktable-working as a group on a new skill
