Workshop 8

 

Differentiated Instruction in Science

by Anthony Cody

When we teach as if all our students are the same, some students are not stretched to learn as much as they can. This session shares the use of choice and a layered curriculum which allows us to challenge students to take on as much as they are capable of, moving beyond the basic curriculum to deeper levels. Teachers can also build on student interest by creating opportunities for choice. Examples of more complex assignments and challenges will be shared, as well as grading strategies that promote and reward students for taking on more than the minimum.

Audience: All science teachers, department heads
