How to start?
Do a formative assessment
Create an individual profile of each of
his/her student in each class he/she is
handling.
Using the results of the assessment,
teachers can modify/differentiate
content, process or product along with
the learning area.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
According to Tomlinson
(2006), TEACHERS can
DIFFERENTIATE
INSTRUCTION through FOUR
WAYS:
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Content:– what the
student needs to learn
or how the student will
get access to the
information.
Examples of differentiating content
include the following:
Using reading materials at varying
readability levels;
Using spelling or vocabulary lists at
readiness levels of students;
Presenting ideas through both auditory
and visual means;
Meeting with small groups to re-teach an
idea or skill for struggling learners, or to
extend the thinking or skills of advanced
learners.
Process:
How students develop
the knowledge,
understanding and
skills to master the
learner outcomes.
Activities in which
the student engages in
order to make sense
of or master the content
Examples of differentiating process or
activities include the following:
Using tiered activities through which all
learners work with the same
important understandings and skills,
but proceed with different levels of
support, challenge, or complexity;
Offering manipulative or other hands-on
supports for students who need them
