5	Differentiate Instruction: Provide varied contexts for learning Meet the needs of learners who have a broad range of skills and abilities What is differentiated instruction? What does it mean for planning and assessment?
6	Differentiated Instruction: To differentiate instruction is to recognize students’ varying background knowledge, readiness, language, preferences in learning, interests, and to react responsively. Differentiated instruction is a process to approach teaching and learning for students of differing abilities in the same class. The intent of differentiating instruction is to maximize each student’s growth and individual success by meeting each student where he or she is, and assisting in the learning process. Tomlinson
7	Teaching Approach: The teacher shares teaching with the students Teachers and students accept and respect one another's similarities and differences The teacher helps the student make sense of learning The teacher is primarily a coordinator of time, space, and activities The teacher strives to help students become self-reliant learners
8	Learning Approach: Students work in a variety of group configurations with flexibility Time is flexible and pacing is varied Students often have choices about topics, ways they work, and the product to demonstrate their learning
9	Differentiated Instruction: Variations for Learners Vary the pace Vary the difficulty level to provide challenges at varying levels Vary the reading levels to meet your students’ skills and interests Vary the topic in response to students' interests Vary the style material through a variety of media
10	Follow Up: What were some of the ideas that you generated for finding various materials? reading levels style of materials
11	Planning for Differentiated Learning Experiences: Typically 2-4 Options Art and Society Botero 5-6 Diego Rivera 7-9 Painting in Mexico 10-11 Frida Kahlo 12-14 Readability Levels: FOG Formula sentence length number of ‘difficult’ words( 3 + syllables) 100 word passage: Avg sentence length + # of difficult words divided by 2.5 (Or multiply by .4)
12	Instruction & Assessment Working together Build Comprehension: Question and Answer Relationships Assess use of context: Cloze Procedure
13	Instruction and Assessment Question-Answer Relationships QAR: In the Book Right There Think and Search In My Head Author and You On Your Own Cloze Procedure: 250-350 word piece independent level Delete every nth word or words by choice Assess student use of: Syntax Semantics
14	Group Work: Part A Apply QAR to a passage: Select from among the art passages Model process that your would use to teach QAR process to students Develop 4-6 question: at least 1 in each category Instruct other half of the group in a QAR approach on the selected passage
15	Group Work: Part B Use Cloze Procedure: Develop a 100-200 word cloze example on 2 texts --Let 1 text be one that group A uses --Let the other text be a text at the next higher or lower reading level. Delete every nth word or words you select to assess a specific skill. Decide if you want to provide a word list.
16	Group Work Think it Through:
17	Summary: Instruction and Assessment Assessment is an ongoing activity guiding instruction and is done in a variety of ways The teacher uses a variety of instructional strategies with assessments to help target instruction to the student needs Learning tasks are planned and adjusted based on assessments
18	Summary: Instruction and Assessment Plan your year around a few key concepts that will help students relate to, organize, and retain what they study in the content area Develop essential questions to engage your students : What does art tell us about ourselves, and about society? .
19	Summary: Instruction and Assessment List the skills for which the teacher and students are responsible for as the year progresses. Defined set of ideas and vocabulary for students to know for each unit of study. Carry out pre and post assessment
20	Exit Ticket: Write down one strategy that you will use to differentiate instruction the first week of school.__________________________________________________________________________________________________
