Reinforcing Differentiated Instruction

Thus far we've explored numerous DI strategies at all levels of assessment (anectodal, formative, and summative). Ultimately, this exploration will lead to the most effective approaches in reaching the middle-learner. As discussed in our first session, the characteristics of the middle-learner vary from student to student. Thus, it is necessary to provide multiple learning strategies throughout a unit of study. Currently the goal is two-fold, in that we not only want to raise the level of evaluation for our middle-learners, but also increase their engagment to learn. In my opinion the engagement to learn is more important to secure continued success throughout a given course, and thus will be the focus that I will stress throughout our TLLP sessions.
