Week+4

For Assignment #4, you conducted a classroom observation of a lesson to look for characteristics of a differentiated classroom. This week, you will discuss with your teammates what you have experienced, and brainstorm ideas for making the lesson you observed more effective. You will use what you learned from your team discussion to finalize the Suggestions for Improvement section of the assignment.

Directions

Discuss with your team the instructional strategies described in Tomlinson’s Chapters 7 and 8 that support the differentiation you observed in the classroom. Share ideas about how you could use the strategies described to make the lesson you observed more effective for all learners, including those with special needs.

Based on your reading as well as reflection and input from your teammates, add instructional strategies to the Suggestions for Improvement section of your Differentiated Classroom Observation Template which you will submit by the end of Week 5.
