Diverse Learners' Needs (Session 1 - 2 p.m.) by https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7 en-us 2022-04-15 19:26:00 UTC 2023-05-25 18:14:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Amy McCorkle https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189969309 I feel one of my greatest strengths has been building relationships with my kids. I feel this helps me differentiate a lot because kids are not afraid to talk to me about their needs. ]]> 2022-05-18 18:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189969309 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189969336 Do you create one main unit and have different checklists for different kids so they know what they are responsible for if it varies from student to student?]]> 2022-05-18 18:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189969336 How do we encourage more capable learners to do more without punishing them by requiring more work of them than we expect of their peers? The last thing I wanted when I buckled down, stayed focussed, and got my work done early was to be told I now had to do extra work that no one else was required to do. amyselman https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189970411 2022-05-18 18:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189970411 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189970584 Meeting everyone's needs. I tend to give more attention to a group (low, high, behavior, etc) at a time, while the other students are on their own. I have not been good at reaching all students at the same time.]]> 2022-05-18 18:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189970584 Multiple pathways (Alison) https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189970886 Providing students with multiple pathways but evaluating based on knowledge. So practice is varied but all students learn the required objectives and demonstrate that knowledge in clear measurable ways.

The kids have never done it either and differentiating has been nearly impossible.]]> 2022-05-18 18:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189971649 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189971822 Concerned about how to pace within a class that has multillingual students and students that need more one on one help and students that move at a faster pace. ]]> 2022-05-18 18:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189971822 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189972149 I am really good at building relationships with students.]]> 2022-05-18 18:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189972149 I find the starting by activating prior knowledge builds confidence even in below grade level students. They realize that we are working with something they can relate to on some level and do not immediately check out, because they know they can do it. amyselman https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189972324 2022-05-18 18:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189972324 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189972848 Fostering a growth mindset in the classroom - grades aren't permanent and every assignment can be revised!]]> 2022-05-18 18:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189972848 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189973031 It's challenging to teach a class where some kids work super fast and some work so, so slowly. ]]> 2022-05-18 18:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189973031 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189973922 ESL learners.

Students can't read a high school textbook? Here's an elementary level picture book. Use that instead. They don't have the vocab? Use simpler words, don't waste time on advanced vocab. amyselman https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189975456 2022-05-18 18:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189975456 https://padlet.com/mentorship5/15tkiy2bgmssbh7/wish/2189975467 Meeting the needs of ESL learners.
