A6 pt 2 #DojoChat

AllyScheidt Oct 18 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A6- Backwards design. Look at what they need to be able to do by the end of the lesson, and plan with that end in mind. #dojochat

oodlesofteach Oct 18 @ 7:51 PM EDT

Don't lower the bar work towards excellence! Well said! #dojochat

M_CurcioMSED Oct 18 @ 7:50 PM EDT

Hold a standard. Just because you differentiate doesn’t mean that you have to lower the bar. Set the precedent and work towards excellence.

Differentiation means we are all different & we learn differently. It doesn’t mean we learn different things. See the difference? #dojochat

BatesMandi Oct 18 @ 7:57 PM EDT

#dojochat differentiation does not change learning target. Dig changes the way we get there. Content and rigor are there, just different
