Rainey discussed in her video that after deliberately scaffolding her lessons, she saw an increase in student work quality. Students overall were performing better with scaffolded lessons.

3. What is one new way your grade-level will differentiate instruction in your classrooms this month?

As a grade level, we will differentiate instruction within our classrooms by leveling them during UA for both math and ELA. Aside from UA, we will also differentiate instruction based on ability levels within the classroom.

Scaffolding is taking the students from their level to then feeling successful.

Rainey noticed that scaffolding leads to success. Students were performing better and their skill level increased.

We will be rotating our students based on their needs. Each teacher will be teaching students at the same level. This will allow for maximum student success.

Scaffolding is instructing at each student's skill level and it important because it will help guide them towards achievement.

She noticed improvement in performance levels.

We are beginning our leveled UA center groups - the leveled classrooms will help each student succeed at their own ability level.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION IS TEACHING WITH THE CHILD IN MIND RATHER THAN ADOPTING A STANDARDIZED APPROACH TO TEACHING AND LEARNING THAT SEEMS TO PRESUME THAT ALL STUDENTS OF A GIVEN AGE ARE AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE ACADEMICALLY. DI IS RESPONSIVE TEACHING.

Differentiated Instruction gives students a range of ways to access curriculum, instruction and assessment. DI engages students to interact and participate in the classroom in a richer way. It is based on the assumption that all students differ in their learning styles, strengths, needs and abilities and that classroom activities should be adapted to meet these differences.
