The Role of Pre-Assessment in Differentiation
These three questions should guide every lesson Planning What do I want students to know andor to
be able to doPre-assessment Who already knows the information
andor can do itDifferentiation What can I do for them so they can
make continuous progress and extend their learning
Pre-assessment is especially critical to be able to determine the students level of readiness to proceed with the new unit of study

10487291048729 Students roll the die and complete the activity on thecard that corresponds to the dots thrown on the die
10487291048729 If the first roll is an activity that the student does not wantto do a second roll is allowed
10487291048729 Teachers can create an Activity Sheet to correspond tothe lesson for easy recording and management
Make an acrostic poem using one of the main parts of a
plant Use the letters in the word to begin your poem Draw a picture to illustrate
your poem
Read the book The Little Seed Choose a plant and draw the life cycle beginning with the seed
Make a flip book about plants Label each page with
a different plant part (soil seed root stem leaf and
flower) Include a sentence and a picture on each page
Write a creative story about a plant and what it needs to survive Illustrate your story and then read your story to a
friend

Explorers English picture dictionary Choose five words to research Write the words and the definition on index cards
Draw a plant and label each part Be sure to include the
soil seed roots stem leaves and flower Draw two things the plant needs to survive in

Teaching school is like teaching swimming lessons You have a couple of students that you can send off to the deep end and they will probably be okay by themselves There are a bunch of kids in the middle who you can teach something new to and then they can go off and practice But there are a few kids who if you take your eye off of for even a minute they will drownrdquo (5th grader)

What is Cubing
Cubing is an instructional strategy designed to help students think about a topic or idea from many different angles A cube includes 6 commands one on each of its six faces followed by a prompt that describes the task the students should do related to the command Cubing can help students think at different levels of Bloomrsquos Taxonomy
Example of how a command and task can be related to the same topic but differentiated in order to meet the needs of lower ability and higher ability students

Teaching school is like teaching swimming lessons You have a couple of students that you can send off to the deep end and they will probably be okay by themselves There are a bunch of kids in the middle who you can teach something new to and then they can go off and practice But there are a few kids who if you take your eye off of for even a minute they will drownrdquo (5th grader)

Teaching school is like teaching swimming lessons You have a couple of students that you can send off to the deep end and they will probably be okay by themselves There are a bunch of kids in the middle who you can teach something new to and then they can go off and practice But there are a few kids who if you take your eye off of for even a minute they will drownrdquo (5th grader)
