Differentiating Instruction

After reading a fellow classmates blog it made me think of a new connection. Not all fashion works for everyone. Not all instruction works for everyone either! As a teacher you have to differentiate your instruction for your students. Not all kids come into your classroom with the same wealth of knowledge. You have to teach each child based on their own abilities. I see a lot of teachers push their low students to frustration because they are giving them independent work that is entirely too difficult for them. These students don’t know what success feels like. And these are the students who enter middle and high school with little to no motivation.

  1. In many fashion/style magazines, we can find the comparison and contrast of celebrities wearing the same outfit. Often times we see the dress fits one person better than the other. The reasons may include but not limited to age, height, skin tone, make-up, hair style, the events, the accessories, and so on.

    Instruction can be valued in a similar way, but only more complicated, since not everything is as visible.
