To successfully differentiate instruction, you need the right mindset, a strong skill set, and an effective tool set.
Teachers who differentiate are instructional decision makers--educational designers who leverage pedagogical expertise and carefully cultivated insight to plan rigorous and respectful learning experiences for every student. In Using Technology in a Differentiated Classroom, Clare R. Kilbane and Natalie B. Milman explain how to pair the principles of differentiation and quality instructional design with educational technology to ensure every learning experience is engaging, effective, efficient, and equitable. You'll find expert guidance and an array of recommended digital tools that will support your efforts to
- Plan or adapt lessons, units, and learning activities to differentiate by content, process, and product;- Create and sustain a positive and supportive learning community;- Design and employ more accurate and informative assessment; - Learn from and about students and families--and communicate more clearly with both; and- Manage the various administrative and operational aspects of differentiation.
To differentiate instruction is to pursue the highest aims of the profession--namely, to meet every student as a uniquely valuable individual, help each acquire knowledge and build skills and understanding, and position all for future success. Read this book to become a better differentiator and more skillful teacher.
