Quote for Module 9
To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
Stephen R. Covey, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
In this module
You begin to design a plan for a multi-week implementation of differentiated instruction. During the implementation, you integrate differentiated instructional strategies into larger parts of the student day and across sections or content areas.
In this process,
- you set goals
- design an implementation schedule
- measure student growth as you implement
- adjust your project as needed to help keep your students on track and
- examine the overall impact of your project at the end of the implementation
Major Topics:
- Fitting differentiated instruction into a larger unit and/or standard
- Developing a multi-week implementation plan within a long-term unit or standard
- Review, “Outline of Part II”
- Read, “Expectations for Part II”
- Take interactive quiz, “Part II Pre-assessment”
- Read, “Role of Technology in Differentiation”
- Read, “Lesson Design/Essential Questions/Designing backwards”
- Read, “Implementation Challenges”
- Use template to begin designing a long-term implementation plan by completing part A of the template
Outcomes:
- Design a long-term implementation plan
