Differentiation: Pause for Reflection by Heather Ayers https://padlet.com/heathermayers/66stwhpsskhigk35 Made with the best of intentions en-us 2021-03-10 20:05:22 UTC 2025-09-24 17:07:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/heathermayers/66stwhpsskhigk35/wish/1312027729 I definitely did not differentiate readings as effectively  as I could have - text engineering, adding pictures for vocabulary.

I also "assumed" a lot instead of being intentional according to data. ]]> 2021-03-15 17:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/heathermayers/66stwhpsskhigk35/wish/1312033726 https://padlet.com/heathermayers/66stwhpsskhigk35/wish/1312035277 It's profound just how little we consider "choice" in the classroom - as adults we like choice, so of course our students would too. Content can be the same and better accessible when students have a choice in how they access the content.

Along with motions, and songs I did duel notes. Type all notes in Spanish and English. I allowed them to read in Spanish, but they had to write in English. As the year went on, I dialed back on the duel method and scholars were able to learn and ready on grade level for all of their assignments.
