Differentiated Teaching That Works: An Educator's Guide

Zusatztext

The ideas presented in this book were drawn from over 45 years in academia, practising across all continents and operating at all levels: early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary. This book aims to equip teachers with the skill sets, competencies and motivation to enable them to function comfortably in differentiated environments. Chapter 1 addresses differentiated teaching, individualised teaching, and streaming together with differentiating content, process, product and the learning environment. Chapter 2 addresses key issues in differentiated teaching: administrative support; teacher preparedness; teacher buy-in; student readiness; student interest; and learning spaces. The final chapter details tried-and-tested strategies. Some of these include setting personal learning goals; set induction; building on what students know; grouping; flipping the classroom; games; instructional aids; teachable moments; tiered assignments; model thinking processes; assessment strategies; reflection and facilitating success. The hope is that the reader would have a wide assortment of take-aways to enable him to expertly treat any situation with the comfort of knowing he is fully equipped.
