Discuss the relationship between ongoing assessment and differentiated instruction.
• Student knowledge and understanding must be continually monitored through ongoing assessment in order for a teacher to differentiate their lessons properly. Ongoing (or formative) assessment occurs during the learning process to make sure students are retaining the information properly. If these ongoing assessments show that student understanding and performance is not up to par, then differentiation is needed. Ongoing assessments can also indicate to the teacher if the differentiation they are currently applying is effective or not, so that they can make further changes in their instruction.
Discuss what is meant by ‘respectful tasks” when developing tiered assignments.
• Respectful tasks are tasks that honor the different capabilities …show more content…
• Bringing instruction back to the whole class after grouping allows the class to construct a “big picture” of the material using information that was worked out in the smaller groups. It allows each group to contribute to overall classroom understanding, and prevents lower-level groups from feeling inadequate or like they haven’t completed meaningful work.
How can you prevent students who may be in a lower level group from feeling inferior?
• Being sure to give student assignments that meet the same objectives as their classmates and assigning “respectful tasks” can keep students from feeling like they are left behind. Praising progress and student accomplishments before offering critical feedback will show them that you are focused on their capabilities, not just their shortcomings. Setting attainable goals for students and giving them a variety of opportunities for success will allow them to prove themselves in the classroom and feel confident in their work.
