Ed Camp Information about K-12 Differentiation Session

Teachers shared things that have helped them work with all students.  Please excuse the fragments.  I just put down the general ideas discussed.

Project Based Learning

Small groups

Power Points, 3d models, giving students choices for completing tasks
for different learning styles

Math-grouping higher students together and allowing the to work at
higher levels

Using Scaffolding and constructive responses

Allowing higher-level students more challenges

Having expert students in groups who will be leaders/helpers

Having "tech team" students who assist with
technology/integration

Stock market game with imaginary companies and funding

Students bring their own questions, create the wording for those
questions, and that bring them closer to understanding the concept

Using real life scenarios-creating situations that apply the learning

Shortening spelling lists for RSP and EL students

McGraw Hill has more challenging spelling lists, whereas Treasures
lists are about the same.

Use game playing and offer students tickets for weekly drawing for
classroom items or homework passes.

Give passes for classroom books when students are completing work.

2nd graders like stickers.

Some classes allow students to sit in the teacher's chair.

Older peer mentors may help.

Classroom competitions to have at the end of a lesson for checking for
understanding.  Groups like to win.

Make kids feel like they matter with encouragement, as simple as
greeting them at the door or acknowleding them when others might not give them
attention.

Set up routines from day one and stick to them! Plus, start the year off firm and if you want to lighten up/loosen up later on then that's alright, but never vice versa!

Daily 5 can be adapted to fit your students' needs and your own teaching style. There is no one way to do it. It's flexible and always changing. Also, having students share successes and challenges gives students accountability for their own learning and teaches them to be reflective about their own learning.

Using Daily 5 as a classroom management tool to allow kids to work independently on academic skills while teachers can circulate or work with small groups
