         <description><![CDATA[<div>When I was in high school, I remember a project we did in physics class at the end of our senior year where students had to build a boat made entirely of cardboard and duct tape. Our goal was to get our team completely across the school pool without sinking. Everyone in the school knew about this project and were excited for when it was their turn to be a part of it. Looking back now, I can see how this is the perfect example of differentiation with complexity as each team member had different ideas for completing the task, and each team had the freedom to come up with something unique to get across that pool...This is so powerful to me because I still remember that physics class, yet I now teach English (hence the long post). </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>After reading many, many fiction stories during the school year, I allow my 1st graders to write their own! They partner up with a friend to write their own fiction story which includes characters, settings, problems, and solutions. They create a book for their classmates to read full of details and precious illustrations. They love sharing their books with the class and we sometimes choose a book to act out.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I really enjoy using cooperative learning in group formats while still using proximity teaching. Just like the picture, students group to do labs/in class assignments and talk amongst each other about ways to go about a problem they encounter. As a teacher, I am always nearby and am ready to praise and redirect when needed. I like this method the best because students piggyback from each in order to reach their goal before even calling me over.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The use of technology can help provide a way to differentiated the product of an assignment. Retelling stories can be difficult for learners who are not auditory. As I teacher, I try to offer students choice in how they demonstrate their knowledge.&nbsp;<br>One way is for students to code a bee bot in order to retell the story. It allows my students who enjoy coding to retell but also adds a challenge to their learning.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I will be teaching science and my passion for science lies in nature and the outdoors. Sometimes, science class can get a reputation for being boring and all indoors, so I would want to do outdoor fieldwork labs. These could include having students work in groups to identify trees, rocks, bugs, and plants, or make outdoor resources like gardens or pollinator homes. I think this would be useful for all students, but especially those who enjoy hands on activities. It would also be something to switch up daily routines and keep kids excited about coming to class. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;Last year, my class that saw the most success with differentiation had a wide variety of student ability levels, but the students were teammates and willing to work together. This year, I want to focus on being more effective in utilizing the relationships within a class to create groups that can work well together at various levels. Simply letting students explain, in their own words, how they go about solving a problem can help each other in ways I never could, because I could never think through the same problem in the same way.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I'm a big fan of collaborative learning, and try to incorporate it into my classroom. One of my favorite activities we do is our own historical version of Shark Tank. We usually do it twice per year, for the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. Students get assigned to groups and as a group they have to pick an invention as their "product," research it, write a collaborative essay, and develop a pitch. On presentation day they pitch to our "Sharks," usually admin, resource officers, their coaches, whoever I can get in. The kids love the activity, the Sharks love it, and it is always a lot of fun. It allows for differentiation because within their groups they divide and conquer based on strengths by themselves, which is really neat to see. I don't have any pictures from when we did it, but I'm attaching a picture I found online of a class doing something similar. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a fun activity where students are working cooperatively to construct a mobile that move only by them blowing on it. They are only given certain materials they are allowed to use to build their mobiles and then we race them to see which team can blow their mobile the farthest in 10 seconds. This is an AIMS activity and I use this activity at the end of the year. It challenges my G/T students and also allows my other students to stretch their minds. They can make the most complex mobile to the simplest mobile and they have a trial run, and then they get the opportunity to adjust their mobile. It is a great way to see differentiated instruction happening with one common goal. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I am planning on doing quite a few Socratic seminars next year for my assessments and reviews of concepts.  During the videos today I was having trouble thinking of ways to apply the methods spoke of in a social studies setting, but i think this will cover it nicely.  Each student will have a different set of Big Idea statements and questions they bring to the discussions, some will be more in-depth than others, but as we go through the discussion and I engage them with further questions to their responses all students will further their understanding of the topic.  Though each students final thoughts may be of different complexities they should each be more in-depth than when they started.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Working with small groups is one of the easiest ways that I have found to implement differentiation in my classroom. I teach junior high math, and my partner and I would combine classes once a week in the library to give students a change of scenery and get them moving around in a larger space. This gave me the opportunity to really reach not only struggling students but also offer enriching extensions to those that need it. I am still a new teacher and plan on expanding my repertoire of differentiation tools, but I have found that grouping can be a great jumping off point and collaborative learning opportunity.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I had such a diverse ability group this past year. In order to differentiate in my classroom, I would have some students label their work while others would write complete thoughts and sentences.  As students grew academically and became more confident, they would add more detail and complex sentences and eventually stories! </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I love working in small groups in my 7th grade science classroom. I have tables set up in groups of 4 and will initially group them based on their test scores, usually with one high scoring, 2 middle of the road and one low scoring so I can allow collaboration. I do also change the groups up to group them in closer related scores so I can reach the struggling students. One of the best ways I was able to give extension and reviews is how we set up our google classroom. We had a Warmup, Learn, Practice, and Check. This allowed me a Pre-assessment in the warmup and where I needed to review or focus on in the notes. After that the students could go along the notes with me or at their own pace.&nbsp; The practice had options for activities for the students to do that ranged from easier to complex. After they were done I gave them multiple ways to "check" their understanding. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I like to allow students the opportunity to collaborate with their peers in a multitude of platforms. I do this through stations. I have a series of cards that I use to help guide students from station to station. Students get individual cards based on their ability level that is organized on a ranking sheet. I update this sheet after every formal assessment based on their progress. Students go to stations that have different activities that update with content.&nbsp; Each student card will match the ranking sheet with a shape. This helps locate students on the stations map. The color of the day would tell them what order their stations would be in. However, the station categories remain the same. They follow the acronym "GRIT."<br>G- Group, Hands on<br>R- Reteach with the Teacher<br>I- Independent Work<br>T- Technology<br>Students see different ability groups within each station except the Refine with the Teacher station. This allows them to collaborate with different ability levels while also having complex material presented with my guidance based on their ability. I adapted these stations from a MATH station training that I attended performed by a teacher in Abilene named Amy Arick so that you could use this acronym no matter what content area you were in.</div>]]></description>

Having flexibility of different levels or the same level being grouped together provides flexibility that allows me to have the ability to group based on what the students need. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We did an energy resources project but to create differentiation I allowed the groups to choose the topics but the "lower level groups" got first choice (and they knew which ones were the less complex projects beforehand).  Also, They got to choose the pros and cons to put on the board but they had to put a certain number all together, but it was their choice how and if they wanted to slant their perspective for their presentation later and their drawings were THEIR interpretations of historical facts about their resource (if it was a renewable resource).  There were requirements hidden in each poster, but the differentiation in each one is what made each group desperate to try to finish each one in time and made for a lively debate later. (I am in high school)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image shows how students are grouped which is a great way to differentiate instruction and activities. I tend to group students based on their needs in order to help them succeed. I also provide different activities for students to choose from so they can pick something engaging rather than making them do a specific one that will bore them.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It appears as though the students in this image are possibly split into groups according to their learning styles. I've found that differentiating in this way can be very effective, but it's main drawback is that it takes time to learn each student's learning style.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I feel this is a picture of what differentiation can look like. You have students in small groups. Some are working on computers together and some are working pencil and paper together. They are not in traditional seating but rather where they feel comfortable.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think it is important to understand that differentiation in a classroom is a multitude of things. It doesn't have to be extra work for the teacher as long as we ask is it helping the student be successful with the learning target.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Starred Writing is an activity that I have used in my classroom to create a multi-sensory approach to writing.  Starred Writing is idea development, in starred writing students must connect each sentence directly to the preceding sentence.  Thus building in development for one of the idea points.  The actual activity has students stand in a circle with possible sentences for a writing prompt and pass a ball of yarn to the appropriate student sentence that builds on the preceding sentence.  The lesson is designed to develop writing with more depth, however, the activity is also visual and tactile and allows for scaffolding for those who need the assistance.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This isn't a picture of a classroom, but a great reminder that every classroom is filled with students of different interests, passions, and ways of learning. No two brains are the same, but each student is capable of learning. It requires differentiation for students to learn topics/concepts  in a way that it will be remembered and not just completed.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Differentiation in my classroom are flex zones all around featuring different comfort qualities. Dim lighting, varied seating and "freedom" of activities or modes of work&nbsp;can be found to optimize engagement and success.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I really love the way the teacher continues to encourage the students to make them feel successful and that they have accomplished the lesson established at the beginning of class as they rotate through the various stations.&nbsp; I love this classroom, it is diverse and I can see that all the students' needs are being addressed; the teacher talked about how she addressed the various modalities of learning.&nbsp; The video is about 5 minutes long.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I hate to admit this picture was kind of me last year.. Not to this extreme but I took today for me to realize all of the different ways we can &amp; should be differentiating.&nbsp; I had quite a few SPED students in my class last year, and I can honestly say I felt like I was doing an amazing job differentiating because I would hand out papers that had a sentence stem or something written for them on their paper. I&nbsp; didn't realize differentiation should happen for all students. Not just SPED or G/T. </div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
