Slide 18 of 23
This slide contains a chart representation of the previous slide (#17) -
"Four Ways to Differentiate Instruction:
1. Differentiating the Content/Topic
2. Differentiating the Process/Activities
3. Differentiating the Product
4. Differentiating By Manipulating The Environment or
Through Accommodating Individual Learning Styles."
- and of the previous materials and information shared on slide #11 (How Many Different Learning Levels/Factors Are Involved In Teaching? Instruction involves a proper understanding of: 1. Development, 2. Assessment, 3. Aptitude/Learning Styles, and 4. Curriculum) and following, concerning the sequence and importance of differentiating the curriculum and instruction based on the pre-assessment of the student's abilities and learning styles. To differentiate instruction is to recognize the varying background knowledge, aptitude, readiness, language, preferences in learning, and interests of the students, and to react responsively. After pre-assessment, then the Content and Process and Product can be modified so that the student can achieve at his or her highest level possible - to maximize each student's growth and individual success.
A thorough Evaluation of the student's abilities and learning style and then a matching application of the Curriculum and Content allows for the student to Process the information and work through the required materials to produce an end Product that meets the expectations/standards. This produces in the instructional relationship between the student and the teacher a positive "Learning Cycle" (Assessment - Content - Process - Product - and then back again).
