This article taught me how it is easier to help students and more ideal to have groups for differentiation due to the challenge of not being able to meet one-on-one, BUT also that the groups need to change with the students changes. Additionally a tip for differentiating, was to focus on previous standards and master those to help with the standard they are struggling on. Additionally, varying questions types/changing how you ask questions depending on the level of students is also a good form of differentiation

This article specifically says that differentiation only needs to include one thing, a clear focus on the students academic and emotional needs. This article goes on to give some tips on how to do this.

This article discusses different strategies for differentiation and how to implement them in the ELA classroom. I enjoyed the article because it discusses how to implement and explores why and how differentiated instruction is beneficial. One of the biggest tips in the article is providing students with choices and pulling on their specific learning types.

This article explores differentiation for the "middle of the pack" student who causes no problems and goes unnoticed by teachers daily. It encourages teachers to meet the student where they are, providing different routes to the same desired learning outcome. It provides examples such as giving extended time, scaffolding the activity from medium to easy, and finally allowing students to redo their work.

This article explains what differentiated instruction is and how to implement it in the classroom. Adding on, it compares differentiated instruction with other approaches and discusses how differentiated instruction may also be used with special education students or in a special education classroom. I found it interesting that the article points out the differentiated instruction is helpful, but may not work in every classroom. If it is not done correctly, it may cause extra distractions instead. However, if educators monitor students and ensure that students continue to improve, educators may successfully incorporate differentiated instruction into their lessons.

This article talks about what makes effective differentiated instruction. It talks about how to make every student seen and challenged on the right level all at one, which sounds like a daunting task. It also focused on waiting for student readiness, which helped me reframe how I think about students who are behind the benchmark of the class. Students need to be scaffolded and ready to learn each skill. The article broke down the benefits of differentiation as well as various strategies to implement it. What is most common between the suggested strategies is flexibility and choice that takes into account student preferences, both interests and learning styles/environments. The article called for good classroom management to successfully implement differentiation. This helped me think about what sort of classroom management strategies allow for students to experience the most flexibility and choice in their learning. This article taught me about the connection between true classroom management and how it allows for a classroom where students experience choice and flexibility so they can all be challenged and seen for their interests and preferred learning styles.
