Differentiate for the WIN!

The Little Prince and the Fox
Chapter 7
The Simple, Hard Truth About Teaching

Essential Question: Who is the teacher and who is the learner?

Let's talk about things Effective Teachers do. Things that all of us teachers should strive for. 

  • CARE ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS!!! Create loving relationships, be aware, respect the students.
  • Interact directly with students - You can only know what's going on if you are involved!
  • Be Enthusiastic!! It rubs off!!!
  • Hands-on!!
  • Inquiry!!
  • Clear goal identification!
  • match instruction to learner needs
  • Flexible grouping!!
  • Be more concerned with understanding the meaning!! Not memorizing!!
  • Know your students.
Without these things plus other things, your teaching will not be reaching it's highest potential and therefore neither will your students!! I want my students to be happy, feel loved, and reach their highest potential!!

I love differentiated and I have totally enjoyed this class, and this amazing book, and learning about all the tools and strategies available out there for making DIFFERENTIATING THE BEST IT CAN BE!!! Thanks Dr. Petereson!! And Good luck to all your differentiators out there!!!!! You'll rock!!!!
