Okay folks, tonight we're chatting about differentiation in Q1/A1 format. #absscorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:03 PM EDT

Q1: What are some struggles you've had with differentiation? #absscorefour

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:05 PM EDT

Let's get the party started ... #absscorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:06 PM EDT

Definitely difficult. (Don't forget our hashtag so everyone can see your responses!) #absscorefour

In reply to @haught_sonja

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:06 PM EDT

A1. While I provide opportunities for differentiation, I still need to make sure I have scaffolding there for Ss that need it. #ABSScorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:07 PM EDT

Absolutely--they go hand-in-hand! What are your fave scaffolding tips? #absscorefour

In reply to @MrDpasion

haught_sonja Apr 25 @ 7:07 PM EDT

#absscorefour Differentiating for a wide varied class is difficult.

In reply to @ebeck1986

haught_sonja Apr 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

#absscorefour grouping students and having groups work on the same standard but emphasis on different needs.Have back up plan when needed

In reply to @ebeck1986, @MrDpasion

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A1: when your plan doesn't work and then it's back to the drawing board. #absscorefour

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

making sure to tap into prior knowledge and pre-teaching vocabulary. Vocab helps tremendously #ABSScorefour

In reply to @ebeck1986

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:09 PM EDT

Most definitely. I call that my "emergency plan". :-D #absscorefour

In reply to @haught_sonja, @MrDpasion

How do you plan for that standard work in advance? (I mean...if you can say it in 140 characters...) #absscorefour

#ABSSCoreFour I agree vocabulary is a must!

In reply to @MrDpasion, @ebeck1986

haught_sonja Apr 25 @ 7:10 PM EDT

#absscorefour Yes Lisa. As the year passes we find what works for our students, but then it gets stale.Talking to peers is a must.

In reply to @LisaCates7

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:11 PM EDT

A1 Finding resources that directly address the needs of individual students and are aligned to the standards #absscorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:12 PM EDT

Q2: How do your grading practices reflect your differentiation in your classroom? #absscorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:13 PM EDT

Awwww. <3 #absscorefour

In reply to @LisaCates7, @haught_sonja

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A2. Grading based on the mastery of the standard. Allows for multiple ways that Ss can show understanding for same standard. #ABSScorefour

haught_sonja Apr 25 @ 7:13 PM EDT

#absscorefour ALways keep in mind if you have an EC teacher to plan with her.It's a whole other person that you can rely on.

In reply to @ebeck1986, @MrDpasion

Sounds interesting. How do you accomplish this? #absscorefour

In reply to @MrDpasion

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:14 PM EDT

Q2: IEPs are the 1st. & knowing your students strengths & abilities #absscorefour

haught_sonja Apr 25 @ 7:15 PM EDT

#absscorefour A2 Yes Dayson. We will have to meet as a faculty and try to get everybody on board with grading for standard mastery.

In reply to @MrDpasion

What are your plans for encouraging others to jump on this train? #absscorefour

In reply to @haught_sonja, @MrDpasion

RobinFinberg - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:15 PM EDT

A2 1.44 effect size...Students who track their own mastery of each standard is a win-win #absscorefour

haught_sonja Apr 25 @ 7:16 PM EDT

#absscorefour Yes Lisa. We have so many needs to fulfill. Having a document that tells you so must not be ignored.

In reply to @LisaCates7

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:17 PM EDT

making sure that when set up gradebook, connect w/ standard. Grades reflect Ss mastery of content. #RubricRrubricsRubrics #ABSScorefour

In reply to @ebeck1986

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:17 PM EDT

#ABSSCoreFour the challenge in ELA is there are 4 sets, R, W, S,L

In reply to @haught_sonja, @MrDpasion

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:18 PM EDT

Definitely. Rubrics are crucial. Too many Ts don't figure out the test/rubric until end of unit. #facepalm #absscorefour

Heads up...Q3 coming up! #absscorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:19 PM EDT

Q3: While @mrdpasion has us on the subject of grading, how about this: How do you assess differentiated tasks? #absscorefour

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:20 PM EDT

in our PLC we reverse plan units. #ABSScorefour

In reply to @ebeck1986, @MrDpasion

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:20 PM EDT

You would find that in any content area. Opportunity is in breaking down what you want students to do to match the standard. #absscorefour

In reply to @LisaCates7, @haught_sonja

Love it. #absscorefour

In reply to @LisaCates7, @MrDpasion

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:22 PM EDT

Q3: various ways to include rubrics, quizzes, performance tasks, observing, q&a, exit tickets #absscorefour

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A3. Setting clear expectations and using rubrics. Student portfolios. Self reported grading and conferencing w/ students. #ABSScorefour

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:25 PM EDT

Oh and allowing students multiple attempts to show mastery. Redos in life = redos in school. #ABSScorefour

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:26 PM EDT

Also, I'm a big fan of #nogrades. SO there's that ... #ABSScorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:27 PM EDT

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A4: choices board is a fave and in the plans. New one shared by colleague @ core4 training #absscorefour

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:33 PM EDT

Used #geniushour to have Ss show mastery of #NGSS engineering standards. Project is ongoing, but am loving what SS want to do #absscorefour

Student ownership over learning and their own data is so important! #ABSScorefour

In reply to @RobinFinberg

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:38 PM EDT

Q5: how do you make sure every student is working on the same standard despite big skills gaps? #absscorefour

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:39 PM EDT

#absscorefour

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:40 PM EDT

A5. Do students have to be working on the same standards? In blended learning environments big 1/2 #ABSScorefour

A: Partners, teams, progress monitoring #absscorefour

LisaTho421 Apr 25 @ 7:41 PM EDT

In reply to @LisaTho421

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:42 PM EDT

advantage to choosing path, place, pace & time. Are we limiting ourselves by making sure Ss on same standards/same time? 2/2 #absscorefour

LisaCates7 Apr 25 @ 7:42 PM EDT

Hello Lisa Thompson! 😊🎈 #absscorefour

haught_sonja Apr 25 @ 7:43 PM EDT

#ABSSCoreFour A5 Math we use different standards at the same time, but focus on the standard of the day. Otherwise I can see what you mean.

In reply to @MrDpasion

ar1121 Apr 25 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A5: The beauty of many content areas is their vertical progression - differentiate core around the same standard. #ABSScorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:43 PM EDT

Seconding this. Same standards/same time isn't necessary. U have a whole semester/year--who cares when it gets mastered? #absscorefour

LisaTho421 Apr 25 @ 7:45 PM EDT

Better late...I agree w/ integration & targeting students' needs- can't focus on 1 until done #absscorefour

ebeck1986 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 7:46 PM EDT

Q6: You walk into a classroom where Ss are taking notes on a lecture for an hour. How would you help the T to differentiate? #absscorefour

ar1121 Apr 25 @ 7:46 PM EDT

#ABSScorefour Certainly ok to NOT be on the same standard, but come together - it's important for Ss to do that every now and then.

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:48 PM EDT

Q6. Flip lecture. 1hr turns into 15 mins. Scaffolded guided notes to augment vid lecture. Assess understanding of lecture 1/2 #absscorefour

ar1121 Apr 25 @ 7:48 PM EDT

A6: #ABSScorefour I'd double check the goals of the class with the teacher. Let's see what the end game is. Go from there.

LisaTho421 Apr 25 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A6 - let's explore some engaging ways to access the same info - ❤coop learning, locked boxes, & jigsaws #absscorefour

MrDpasion Apr 25 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A6 cont Targeted grouping based on data. Some can work independently. You can work 1:1 or small group with those who need it. #Absscorefour
