A1. Maximizing strengths and supporting weaknesses. Guiding every child as far as they can go in the limited time we have #txed

A2-Some of the same answers in A1 could go here. I feel that it should involve informal assessments, great monitoring and feedback #TXed

IvantheAggie Sep 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: I think we cheat ourselves with not reaching differentiation. The kids need it and I think as educators we grow so much with it! #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: All Ss learn differently at different paces. You need to teach to where they are and build knowledge. Stations, adaptive lessons #txed

vhsaldana Sep 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2:Looks differently. Differentiate delivery, content, or product. #TXed

@PrincipalOgg used to be scared of feedback, but now it helps me take leaps in my teaching/admin skills #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@terrieichholz So you are basically throwing some of the curriculum out the window. (not that I disagree) #txed

IvantheAggie Sep 21 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@LiteraryFusions definitely. It's definitely a continuous growth model on both sides of the spectrum! #txed

MelissaBalcom Sep 21 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A2 It is easier to see what is NOT differentiation. Sameness #TXed

terrieichholz Sep 21 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd LOL. As GT teacher I have more flexibility. In reg class curric should be minimum standard. Ss who can do more should #txed

eduk8r_Jared Sep 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT

terrieichholz Sep 21 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@eduk8r_Jared @pwagnerlcisd Problem is when Ss have mastered curriculum still have to do it & are not allowed 2 go deeper or further #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@eduk8r_Jared @terrieichholz The curric needs to be followed or Ss will miss mportant piece. We need to look at depth of instruction. #txed

@pwagnerlcisd @eduk8r_Jared @terrieichholz We have to expose kids to the curriculum, if we don't, they don't have a shot at all. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Sep 21 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@vhsaldana @pwagnerlcisd @eduk8r_Jared Yes - but when they've mastered it they shouldn't have to keep proving it over and over. #txed

eduk8r_Jared Sep 21 @ 9:58 PM EDT

But too many students can protest out of a standard, show mastery and do something relevant. #txed @pwagnerlcisd @terrieichholz

A5. Be flexible. If Ss can show they've learned the concept in ways that engage them more, let them. #txed

@eduk8r_Jared worth it when you see results. You can make up some of that time too by knowing what your Ss already grasp. #txed
