A2:I like that in using differentiation all my Ss learn. I don't like how long it takes to plan differentiation and find resources #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: I like that it is best for Ss. I don't like the planning and time it takes to be done well, also time to implement. So hard. #3rdchat

welcome! Thanks for making it anyway! #3rdchat

In reply to @spiraledu, @MrsAlligood13

mrsjmitchell3 Nov 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: I love that it meets individual Ss needs but takes time to find/create/modify things to reach all needs #3rdchat

Heathrb25 Nov 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 I like how every S is included in the core instruction with the supports needed to find success #3rdchat

spiraledu Nov 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

Can study same topic but have slightly different activities. Today in math we had manipulatives, +, & - used to find / #3rdchat

Heathrb25 Nov 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

I also like including other students to help support learning and foster a community in my room #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2. The biggest negative is time and resources. How do I differentiate everything with the little time I have to plan/create? #3rdchat

FloradTeach Nov 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

You need to be thoughtful of what it will look like but also how receptive the Ss are #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2. I love that it meets all learners and helps them all gain confidence in themselves, no matter their level. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: I love that it helps me be the best T that I can be for all my Ss, but the constant preparation can be exhausting #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: We have so many constraints that hinder it. #3rdchat

A2: Another challenge is I don't always feel I do enough for the higher level kids...time gets away from me! #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:26 PM EST

great point! Especially when differentiating through small groups, they wind up much larger or not enough time #3rdchat

In reply to @Heather21632415

FirstAtBat - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

Yes, or even a smaller assigning, being able to type instead of write, giving student choice. #3rdchat

Heathrb25 Nov 9 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3-if you keep an eye on your data you can catch those Ss and give them what they need ongoing #3rdchat

Right? Lol! #3rdchat

In reply to @FirstAtBat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3. I defintely thing it can. "Teaching to the test" is very tempting. But that's not differentiation #3rdchat

We are lucky this year, testing vendor for state messed up so no tests till they find a new one. #3rdchat

In reply to @MrsAlligood13

WOW!!!#3rdchat

In reply to @spiraledu, @MrsAlligood13

will it ever go away? #3rdchat

A4 cont. It can be hard on some but it gives an accurate picture of what the S is able to do/not do with grade level standards #3rdchat

A4 Take into account what Ss can show/explain depending on how they express themselves. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Nov 9 @ 9:40 PM EST

I think it depends on what was differentiated. If I allow a shorter assignment due to attention. Or a Ss to type instead of write. #3rdchat
