Differentiation 2nd reading

I absolutely loved the reading. "Fulfilling the Promise of the Differentiated Classroom" is a great book that continues to help me understand how I can be a good teacher to my students.

The part that I was able to respond to the most was the Cogs of Differentiation. I liked the visual aide to help me understand what the student seeks, what the tecaher responds to and how curriculum and instruction are the vehicle.

I know especially for my students I need to make sure that my students can always feel affirmation from me. I want a class where the students feel accepted and safe how they are. I want my students to feel that and I know it is important because I went through school rarely feeling lost and not accepted. Through that I know my learning experience was hindered.

Good job, Abbey. This is more of the kind of reflection you need. Now, since this reading and these blog entries take the place of a reading log and other kinds of busy-work assignments, it's important for you to reflect thoroughly and completely... and "more" for a 2-chapter assignment. I need to know how you are beginning to understand what differentiation is. The next assignment is shorter, so what you have here, length-wise, would probably be appropriate for it... just needs to be a little more comprehensive about today's assignment. 3 points

the video clip will help you know how to make a digital story and why

Name the Presidents

This video will help you remember all the presidents names and so I want you to come to class tomorrow having all the presidents names memorized.
