This workshop series makes differentiation easy to understand and easy to do! Understand how readers differ and what actions teachers can take to reach different readers.
Teachers are challenged to reach readers that often present widely different strengths and needs. What teachers bring to these readers in terms of supports, texts, and grouping makes all the difference. This workshop series surveys what is known about differentiating instruction and then provides down-to-earth advice on how to apply that knowledge in simple, practical ways. Michael Ford will present four foundational models for reaching all readers. You'll quickly discover you can do differentiation as you learn:
• Grouping Without Tracking
• Jigsawing
• Connected Literature Circles
• Focused Readers' Workshop.
These four models have been designed to make differentiation manageable and reading enjoyable for all readers, no matter their differences. You'll find all the essentials you’ll need for success—and even a strong framework to adapt for RTI.
