What does DIFFERENTIATION
look like?
+
How can this benefit my students?
Students often have difficulties with reading, writing,
reasoning, remembering, or organizing information
Opportunities to work with appropriate concepts and
technology tools and in groups of peers with a range of
backgrounds and abilities
Develop strengths and apply creativity to
material and products that interest them
Still “tests” the content just using
different products as the “output”
Content, process, product
Multiple Intelligence Survey
Birmingham Grid for Learning
Understand your learning style as a teacher
Teachers often “teach” to their own learning style
Understand the learning style of your students
