    Q1: Differentiation is for all students and not just students who are struggling or gifted. #sschat
    In reply to @kris_vanduyne

  • classroomtools Jul 17 @ 7:09 PM EDT
    A1 Differentiation to me means identifying & setting learning goals & objectives specifically with/for each student. #sschat
  • MLteaches5th Jul 17 @ 7:09 PM EDT
    Great point! Holding students to high expectations makes them accountable and allows them to set goals. #sschat
    • kararedknight Jul 17 @ 7:07 PM EDT
      A1: differentiation means meeting my students just above their skill level and changing them to improve. #sschat

  • CCSDInstruction Jul 17 @ 7:11 PM EDT
    A1 Differentiation requires a thoughful and purposeful approach, rooted in knowing your students. Student driven, data informed. #sschat
  • kylelaurie Jul 17 @ 7:11 PM EDT
    A1: My experience is that differentiation is not easy, nor is it intrinsic. We can't just say it is important. #sschat

    Q#2: How do you implement vocabulary activities in the classroom? #sschat
  • shyra7480 Jul 17 @ 7:12 PM EDT
    A1 I think it also means we may need to broaden our "bag of tools and tricks" even if it means we're out of our comfort zone #sschat
  • RivkaSeligson Jul 17 @ 7:12 PM EDT
    A1: We first need to honestly care about each student before trying to help. #sschat

    True story - my 1st time differentiating a lesson - my dir of PD came in the classroom to help b/c I was so nervous. #sschat
  • MsHolmesTeach Jul 17 @ 7:12 PM EDT
    Yes! Differentiation is more than talking about it. #sschat
    In reply to @kylelaurie

    A1 - differentiation is challenging each individual student at their level. Constant student empowerment & curiosity! #sschat

    In reply to @USHistoryIdeas, @kris_vanduyne
  • MsHolmesTeach Jul 17 @ 7:12 PM EDT
    A1 Differentiation = finding ways to learn that work for each student. We're all individuals; I can't expect 35 of the same product. #sschat

    A1: Individualizing and personalizing learning with varied routes to help students achieve the objective #sschat
  • hoffmanteambret Jul 17 @ 7:13 PM EDT
    At what point does a S require modification vs. differentiation? How far does differentiation go? #sschat

  • jeffery_keller Jul 17 @ 7:17 PM EDT
    A2: Teach vocab in context - no defining out of back of book. Concept definition maps can be helpful. #sschat

    Q#3: What reading strategies assist students in your classroom? #sschat
  • classroomtools Jul 17 @ 7:18 PM EDT
    A2 I used to also give Ss short sections from https://t.co/pkmKYM62nl and have them rewrite as author probably intended. #sschat
  • MsHolmesTeach Jul 17 @ 7:18 PM EDT
    A2 Teach and expect high-level vocabulary. We don't "do group work;" we collaborate, research, and analyze. #sschat
  • Mrneilhistory Jul 17 @ 7:18 PM EDT
    A2: Ss can use academic vocabulary w/ fast turn and talks. Pose a question, have them turn and talk for 30 secs using the word. #sschat
