The SAN Script – Tuesday, September 21

Let the believer who is lowly boast in being raised up, and the rich in being brought low, because the rich will disappear like a flower in the field. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the field; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. It is the same way with the rich; in the midst of a busy life, they will wither away.

– James 1:9-11

Levels of Understanding: Learning That Fits All

Have you ever tried on a “one-size-fits-all” article of clothing? If you happen to be of average height and average weight, then perhaps this size worked for you. However, if you happen to be shorter, taller, weigh less, or weigh more than the average person, then the odds are that the one size that supposedly fits all does not work for you!

The same goes for one-size-fits-all lessons or practice. Think about this for a second. Do all of your students earn the same grade? I’m certain they don’t! And yet, many teachers assign the same homework or same practice to all students regardless of individual students’ level of readiness. Let’s say that I create a practice geared toward proficiency — maybe for students with a B. This practice might be useful for students with B’s or C’s. Clearly, this practice is too easy for students with an A and too difficult for students with a D. By assigning this “one size fits some” practice, I just ignored the needs of the advanced and struggling students.

By now, teachers start to think, “Wait a minute! I don’t have time to create individual practice for all of my students! Who has time for that?” The truth is, no one has time for that! So the question is how do we develop and embrace a framework that supports creating homework or practice to meet the needs of all learners? In order to reach diverse learners, we need diverse teaching strategies. Student voice and choice lie at the foundation of a differentiated classroom. When voice and choice are honored, the one-size-fits-all model transforms into multiple pathways for student growth.

similar to the TED Talk theme presented at our first PD session – I think we can differentiate more with the use of the digital tools we continue to roll out
