DocNanci Jul 13 @ 9:41 PM EDT

But this IS hard... #atplc

DocNanci Jul 13 @ 9:49 PM EDT

YES! Teach up. #atplc

A6 I always start a bit higher than I feel the student may be to see if they can rise to the occasion-if not, I modify my instruction #atPLC

DocNanci Jul 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

I've asked questions. How about yours? #atplc

#atplc Best resources for non-tracking DI; hate labels

DocNanci Jul 13 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Carol Tomlinson is the ultimate guru. Anything by her. Do you want research or how to or what? I have 4 books... #atplc

Albertabooth Jul 13 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A8 What DI strategies work best in high school and how do HS teachers reflect the research in their instruction? #atPLC

Kingfischer82 Jul 13 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Does anyone have good experience in differentiating lessons better? #atPLC

How do we decide when rigor is too much and discouraging vs the student just needs to work harder? #atplc

In reply to @DocNanci

freshfromthe4th Jul 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 I try not to lose the content/rigor by making sure students are well aware of the essential skill we are trying to master, rubrics #atPLC

lrfurlow Jul 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Great question! #atplc

In reply to @Albertabooth

DocNanci Jul 13 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Can I ask what content area? That helps me give resources. Tiered lessons, think dots, RAFT & Sternberg Triarchic are my HS gotos. #atplc
