A very vague description of what differentiation is and is not.
- However, when an entire class moves forward to study new skills and concepts without any individual adjustments in time or support, some students are doomed to fail.
- Differentiation means that teachers allow for differing amounts of time and support for individual students in order to help them make forward progress. Not every student needs to end up at the same place bc they may have started at a different beginning.
- What Differentiated Instruction Is–And Is Not: The Definition Of Differentiated Instruction
- These descriptions are still too vague for many teachers. There needs to be more concrete language put to differentiation.

- what can you do in your classroom or your school the day after that you couldn’t do the day before?
- my school adopted a new approach to Educational Technology Integration. We're following an unconference model, and this has meant that we meet weekly, for no more than 1/2 an hour, in small, constantly-changing groups. Before these meetings, staff announce (via the school intranet) what sessions they might be running.
- Staff can then pick a session that suits their fancy - or their professional needs - and these small groups are constantly revolving as people share their new skills with each other.
- ‘How will what I’ve learnt change my practice?’
