using intelligences to differentiate by learning profile

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,

What might be right for you, may not be right for some.

A man is born, he's a man of means.

Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Different Strokes.

It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.

It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody's got a special kind of story

Everybody finds a way to shine,

It don't matter that you got not alot

So what,

They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine....

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Yes it does.

It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

to Differentiate by

Learning Profile

I. Determine your learning profile(s).

a. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences

How does DI (differentiated

instruction) fit into the PLC

cycle?

Differentiation can answer the

questions:

What do we do when

students are not

learning?

What do we do when

students are proficient?

Pillars of DI –

“What you already do every

day!”

Supportive, Positive Environment

High Quality Curriculum

Continual Assessment

Respectful, Creative Tasks

Flexible Grouping

What DI is Not…

“Variety”

“Tracking”

“Just Fun Stuff”

“Just more

work for

teachers”

“A Fleeting

Buzz Term of

Education”

How to Differentiate Lessons and

Activities

Differentiating by

Readiness leads to Growth.

Differentiating by Interest increases

Motivation.

Differentiating by Learning

profile increases Efficiency.
