b) address current beliefs and practices about DI; and 

c) build teachers’ knowledge bases for the enactment of DI]]> 2022-05-04 11:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2169727511 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192718454 Revise the content, skills and assessment packages  to provide different possible strategies teachers can use to meet the interest, readiness and learning profile of different students.

- Model the way - inviting teachers to observe our lessons for the purpose of learning & sharing. 
- Encouraging teachers to TRY and that the application of DI is a journey of us understanding our learners as well as understanding ourselves, as educators.

b) Use the evidence from part (a) to review our current beliefs and practices, with the aim of developing a better understanding of where we stand in terms of our teaching strategies and readiness. This means we have to be able to articulate how we actually plan to engage with and help our students. 

c) Apart from training, the work here has to be done through regular conversations in TTT and through inquiry.

Allow for collaboration between teachers to embark on their DI journey. Provide scaffold/ mentorship for our younger colleagues be it in the form of resources, Open Classroom, etc.

Facilitation/Questioning skills - how to pose questions to students who need more support? How to stretch students who are more high-ability?
2. Improving teacher competency in assessment literacy - knowing item demand so that teachers know how to vary demand level to suit different students.  
3. At the end of the day, it is to ensure that DI is not meant to be tokenistic, but it is an effective way to level every student.

for newer teachers, we may need to take them through managing a differentiated classroom > helping them understand rationale, studying their students, starting at a pace that is comfortable for them
- perhaps having a discussion on what DI means so whole-class vs DI activities > what the differences will look like]]> 2022-05-20 08:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192723170 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192725390 Teachers are generally willing to try out differentiation in their classrooms, but may find it difficult to do so because they lack the necessary skills or ideas, or they might be discouraged by failed attempts / find it too tedious to implement. It's important for us to create the time and space to share good practices and, just as we need to know student needs within a classroom, also be mindful of teacher needs so that there is time to address the gaps and upskill teacher competency.]]> 2022-05-20 08:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192725390 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192725429 1. Have a department meeting to discuss colleagues' understanding of, beliefs about, and practices in DI. Seminal readings and good practices in DI to kickstart the conversation.
2. Start a PLT group comprising colleagues who are firm believers and practitioners of DI to consolidate and refine the current practices in DI in the department.
3. The PLT team's findings then inform another round of discussions at the department level, with the intention of refining the department's ideas about responsive teaching in general - DI being one approach to teaching responsively.]]> 2022-05-20 08:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192725429 https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192725546 Develop a collective sense of ownership and co-construct how DI can be used to enhance student learning. Establish a culture of sharing in a safe environment to encourage teachers to explore DI in groups and build on the team's understanding of DI.

By facilitating department conversations that encourage teachers to interrogate their beliefs and assumptions about DI.

Complement school-wide training on DI with small projects and also small group sharing that will augment teachers' theoretical understanding of DI with analysis of how DI can be effectively enacted in the classroom.  ]]> 2022-05-20 08:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/moe_cpdd_ellb/di2022sync2act2/wish/2192725546
