Targets• I can define Differentiated Instruction using
language from GaDOE Teacher Performance Standards.
• I can identify classroom practices that differentiate instruction for learning.
• I can develop a plan for sharing a common understanding of DI at my school.
• (Set a personal learning goal. What do you hope to take away from the session?)

1. Read the Quick Guide (Characteristics, Examples)2. Read the Fact Sheet (Characteristics, Examples)3. Read the Infographic (Non-examples)4. Read pp. 5-7 Course Participant’s Guide (Examples)5. Come to consensus on a definition6. Include characteristics7. Write at least 3 examples of DI – include an example
from your content/grade8. Write at least 3 non-examples of DI

Performance Standard 2: Instructional PlanningThe teacher plans using state and local school district curricula and standards, effective strategies, resources, and data to address the differentiated needs of all students.
Performance Standard 3: Instructional StrategiesThe teacher promotes student learning by using research-based instructional strategies relevant to the content to engage students in active learning and to facilitate the students’ acquisition of key knowledge and skills.
Performance Standard 6: Assessment UsesThe teacher systematically gathers, analyzes, and uses relevant data to measure student progress, to inform instructional content and delivery methods, and to provide timely and constructive feedback to both students and parents.
Performance Standard 8: Academically Challenging EnvironmentThe teacher creates a student-centered, academic environment in which teaching and learning occur at high levels and students are self-directed learners.

differentiated instruction in both elementary & high. Support your thinking.
3. What questions might an evaluator ask the teacher(s)?

Assessment is most common at the end of learning to see “who got it” Assessment is
