In this episode:


After listening to this episode you will leave with clarity around the what, the why and the how of differentiated instruction in the upper elementary classroom. 


I talk about:


1.What- What is differentiated instruction anyway?


2. Why- Why does differentiated instruction matter?


3. How-How do I differentiate instruction in my upper elementary literacy classroom?


Quotables:


 - Differentiation is the ability of the teacher to ensure that content, process, product or accountability are structured in such a way that all students are able to access the curriculum and set on a path to demonstrate mastery of the grade level standards.


-All students deserve to feel some measure of success in a day. One way to make this happen is to create paths for them to be able to access mastery of the standards we teach them each day. 


- An intentional mini lesson really is the best vehicle for delivering high quality research based instruction. 


-Small group and whole group  instruction can both be ineffective if they are poorly planned and all around unintentional.
