Differentiating Instruction: Guiding Principles

Four Classroom Elements to Differentiate GETTING READY! Element Explanation Examples CONTENT “What to know” What the student needs to learn or how the student will get access to the information Reading materials on different levels, presenting material visually and auditory, meeting with small groups to reteach PROCESS “How to know” Activities in which the student engages in order to make sense of or master the content Tiered assignments: different levels of support, challenge, or complexity, interest centers, manipulatives, hands on materials, procedures, etc.

Four Classroom Elements to Differentiate GETTING READY! Element Explanation Examples PRODUCT “What to produce” culminating projects that ask the student to rehearse, apply, and extend what he or she has learned in a unit options of how to express required learning, allowing students to work alone or in small groups on their products, create their own product assignments LEARNING ENVIRONMENT “What climate / condition” the way the classroom works and feels physical arrangement, time, condition and atmosphere

Differentiated Instruction in LMs and TGs

Differentiating Content Sample Activities EXAMPLE: Lesson 5 (LM) Page 358 Task 6 Visualizing the Text’s Big Ideas As a group, brainstorm on the scenarios taken from the selection. Then, in a ½ illustration board draw the scenario or an equivalent symbolism. Work on the specific task which will be assigned to you by your teacher. Be ready to present your output in the class. Good outputs will be posted on the wall and will be included in the English exhibit. Group 1 -The old man Popocatepetl was seated on a high rock with his white mantle about his shoulders. He looked at the sky, he looked at the sea, he looked at the land--nowhere could he see any food. And he was very hungry, too. Group 2 - Once Popocatepetl’s friend, the little eagle, flew near, and he called to him. Group 3 - Popocatepetl perceived the little animal with two arms, two legs, a head, and a very brave air, and the eagle he stretched forth his great, solemn arms and told the former to feed him. Group 4 - The little animal with two arms, two legs, a head, and a very brave air summoned his kind, they dwelt on the plains, they made this and they made that, but they made no wings for Popocatepetl. Group 5 - The thunderous voice of the old peak Popocatepetl rolls and rolls, if you know that tongue, you can hear him say: "Oh, traitor! Traitor! Where are my wings? My wings, traitor! I am hungry! Where are my wings? " The goal (drawing ) is just one but the content is differentiated

Differentiating Process Sample Activity EXAMPLE: Lesson 3 (LM) Page 343 Task 8 Isang Bansa, Isang Bandila (One Flag, One Nation!) Watch a news report on current social conditions that are happening in the country right now e. g. corruption, poverty, economic crisis, etc. Be ready present in class. You may post some pictures, read an international news article or interview people in authority. Highlight the cause and effect of each problem. Task 8 requires one goal ( present a news report) but differentiated modes of delivery such as picture presentation, news casting, interview etc.

Differentiating Products Sample Activity TASK 8: Nurture Nature. Form five groups, each group will pick one task from a fish bowl. This will ensure fairness and avoid duplication of choices. Group 1: Design a front page of a news paper EXAMPLE: Lesson 1 (LM) Page 289 Group 2: Write a bio-poem about nature Group 3: Design a travel brochure Group 4: Talking Display of a story Group 5: Build a relief map Task 8 requires different products that aim to produce outputs reflective of preserving, promoting and respecting nature.

Differentiating Learning Environment Sample Activity EXAMPLE: Lesson 5 (LM) Page 361 Task 9 Character Impersonation Choose a representative from your group who will imitate the following characters from “The Voice of the Mountain”. Refer to the task given for each group. Make your own dialogue but make sure it is related to the traits and role of the characters mentioned in the selection. Group 1 - Popocatepetl Group 2 - Eagle Group 3 - Little animal (human) Group 4 - King of everything Group 5 - Dwellers Imbibing the role would entail differentiated learning environment.

Can we differentiate a task in more than one element?

Lesson 1, Task 3 , Pg 276 Content Product Process Learning Environment Poster Visual - spatial Blind Group 2 working on 2 nd stanza Book Mark Intra-personal Bed-ridden Group 3 working on 3 rd stanza Greeting Card Inter-personal Ex-convict Topic/text Outputs Flexible grouping Condition /situation “What a wonderful Group 1 working world” on 1 st stanza Justification Yes, we can! (Whenever applicable)

Points of clarification

Differentiate only when. . . • a student needs it • modification increases the likelihood that the learner will understand important ideas and use the important skills more thoroughly as a result.

CLOSURE “We don't need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences. ” – Jane Elliot
