Differentiated instruction. Using student experiences to guide instruction

I can allow students to have freedom to take notes in a way that connects to the way they process information.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating opportunities to increase student engagement and participating that aligns with the constructivist model

# data[].attributes.body
I can differentiate in different ways to help support the needs of my individual students. For example-grouping by learning style or needs

# data[].attributes.body
In terms of note taking, students should be encouraged to process how they interpret the information and come up with ways for their notes to make sense to them. Although this is a habit that should be practiced a lot, a teacher can help guide students in making their notes make sense to them. We do this a lot in 6th grade math and writers workshop. I'd like to use it more with the mentality that it is a useful constructivism approach.

Research shows note-taking is beneficial to all styles of learners. Different types of note taking are more beneficial (such as timelines, charts, fill in the blank)

Differentiated instruction

# data[].attributes.body
Reflections and open responses

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers can guide and facilitate learning rather than "pass on" knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
To help with differentiating  you can group students by needs, types of learning styles, or interests.

# data[].attributes.body
Allowing students freedom to learn things their own ways. As an instructor, not interfering as much.

Learning through experiences to create connections

There is growth when people are challenged with problems that require a new way of thinking.

Knowledge is not discovered, it is constructed (this applies to all ages)

# data[].attributes.body
The learner is an active participant, individually, in groups, and as a whole group

# data[].attributes.body
Although I differentiate in my classroom all the time, I never realized that it is strongly related to constructivism.

What is case base learning?

# data[].attributes.body
Integrating everyone's personal style of constructivist learning in shared units and lessons

# data[].attributes.body
Keeping learning objectives alive in the constructivist model when student engagement is low

# data[].attributes.body
How to push students' questioning further. Encourage more curiosity about things/ideas that are different/foreign to us

# data[].attributes.body
It also involves learning through reflections

# data[].attributes.body
Because it's so individual, how might we make it accessible for diverse learners.

How I can apply this theory to best support students.

# data[].attributes.body
Active learning, not passive.
Learners make meaning.
Create own understanding
Discovery = Understanding
Taps prior experiences

Building on prior experiences and knowledge to learn

# data[].attributes.body
Teacher is the guide and facilitates student knowledge, questioning,  and activities to teach students

# data[].attributes.body
Constructivism is learning through experience and the understanding that everyone brings different experiences/learning to the table.

Questioning and learning from other perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
Using questions to direct learning

# data[].attributes.body
Constructivism is all about the individual. We use our experiences to learn and teach others. For example, when teaching about behavior, we want to make sure we use the experiences of the students in our class to come up with class expecations as guidelines.
