Next Steps for February 4

Chapter 6 discusses several differentiation strategies to implement in your classroom to help build student confidence and self-efficacy! Here they are:

Learning Menus

Think-Tac-Toe

RAFT Activities

Tiering

Complex Instruction

Task-Specific and Generic Rubrics

Learning Contracts

ThinkDots

Multiple-Entry Journals

Each strategy is thoroughly explained in the back of the book under the section entitled 'Toolbox' beginning on page 99. The Chapter 6 strategies begin on page 127. Each explanation provides two examples as well. For the strategies listed above, pick two. My favs are Think-Tac-Toe and ThinkDot! Once you have picked your two favs, use your current UBD and create/post both strategy to the blog! Here is an example from Kelly Emmett on science literacy:

You can attach your created strategies to the blog or post directly. Happy Reading! =)

See Amanda with questions.
