four ways to differentiate instruction
content
what you can do is differentiate the contents by designing activities for groups of students that cover various levels of BLOOM's TAXONOMY
(remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing evaluating, creating)
process
each student has a preferred learning style, and successful differentiation includes delivering the material to each style: visual, auditory and kinesthetic, and through words
product
the product is what students create at the end of the lesson to demonstrate the mastery of the content. the teacher could assign students to complete activities that show mastery of an educational concept in a way the students prefer, based on learning style
learning environment
learning environment includes both physical and psychological. a flexible classroom is key, incorporating various types of arrangements to support both individual and group work. and teachers should provide a safe supportive learning environment.
PROS and CONS of differentiated instruction
PROS
when students are given more options on how they can learn the material, they take on more responsibility for their own learning
students appear to be more engaged in learning, and there are reportedly discipline problems in classroom where teachers provide differentiated lessons
research shows DI is effective for high-ability students as well as students with mild to serve disabilities
CONS
the learning curve can be steep and some school lack professional development resources
critics argue there isn't enough research to support the benefits of DI outweighing the added prep time
DI requires more work during lesson planning, and many teachers struggle to find the extra time in their schedule
