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

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)

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

for Differentiation

Differentiation is seldom about different outcomes for different kids Itrsquos about different ways to get kids where they need to go

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)

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

for Differentiation

Differentiation is seldom about different outcomes for different kids Itrsquos about different ways to get kids where they need to go

the background

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)

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)

the background

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)

DifferentiationDifferentiation is NOT Differentiation IS

Chaotic Proactive qualitative and rooted in assessment

Another way to provide homogeneous grouping

Multiple approaches to content processes and products

Just ldquotailoring the same suit of clothesrdquo

Student centered

The individualized instruction of the 1970s

Blend of whole-class group and individual instruction

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

the background

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)

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)

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)
