Look inside almost any classroom today and you will find students with advanced learning skills working alongside students who struggle with one or more school subjects. Some students will have a vast amount of life experiences to draw on whilst others will have come from more limited backgrounds. Many of our classrooms also include students from multiple cultures, some of whom are trying to bridge language and cultural worlds. All students deserve personal attention to meet their learning needs. Classrooms and schools need to be organized to respond well to variations in student readiness, interest, or learning profile.</p><h4><strong>The challenge</strong></h4><p>Our challenge is clearly expressed in the following quote: “<em><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Most educators appear even to lack images of how a classroom might look—how we would “do school”—if our intent was to respond to individual learner needs. In fact, the challenge of addressing academic diversity in today's complex classrooms is as important and difficult a challenge as we have before us</span></em>.” (<a href="//www.ascd.org/publications/books/100216/chapters/Understanding-Differentiated-Instruction@-Building-a-Foundation-for-Leadership.aspx">Tomlinson & Allan</a>)</p><p>We are going to take a trip out of our school and into a different school - the animal school. You are going to meet ducks, an eagle, fish, a polar bear, a zebra, a squirrel, a kangaroo and a bumble bee. Pay attention to these learners and jot one or two notes down about what the learners' needs might be. Identify with one of those learners that resonated with you? What do you think that learner needs?</p><p>This video, adapted from R. Z. Greenwald's "Preparing our Children for Success", highlights the absolute truth that every child is unique and why differentiation is so important. It is an eye-opening reflection on how we view children and how we teach children in our current education system.</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/o8limRtHZPs" width="640"></iframe></p><p><br />PLEASE STAND - connect with one of these 'animals | learners' - get into groups of ducks, eagles, fish etc. Chew on the following question - consider the animal how do you provide meaningful, respectful and challenging work for this learner?<br />We have to know our students - their needs, passions and areas for growth. Differentiation is not just a strategy but a way of doing things. For that we have to know our learners and their needs every time we sit down and plan what to do next.</p></div></div><h3><span style="color:#B22222;"><img alt="" src="/media/ib/leadership/pedagogical-leadership/differentiation2.jpg" style="float: right; width: 300px; height: 199px;" />WHAT</span> is differentiation?</h3><div class="dottedBox"><div><h4>Activator:</h4><p>How would you define 'differentiation'?</p></div></div><p>The section on differentiation in the IB document <em>Approaches to teaching and learning in the Diploma Programme </em>starts with the following quote:</p><p style="text-align: center;">“Differentiation is more than a strategy or series of strategies … it is a way of thinking about teaching and learning.” (Tomlinson, 2000). Differentiation is “an approach to teaching that advocates active planning for student differences in classrooms” (Tomlinson and Allan 2000).</p><p style="text-align: center;">"How well do you know the children? What flavour of crisps do they like?" (Tim Brighouse, quoted by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O76_TOhcIE">Dr. Ger Graus</a>)</p><p>Here's how one teacher describes their role in a differentiated classroom:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">"The teacher is not a meddler in the middle, but a foreman (or woman) who is helping the construction workers build their own palace of wisdom. She or he knows that the workers have to do the thinking and building themselves, taking different paths, using different tool kits; some will talk collaboratively; some will find scaffolding helpful. They will probably travel at different speeds. Along the path of their education they might change tools, or drop a few bricks whilst having the odd stumble. The building will often only look half-completed, and they will have to re-fit component parts; they will have to try again, and maybe again, and put them back properly, with feedback from the forewoman (or man). Despite different paths and individual journeys, they can all make it to the Palace of Wisdom, a building they have constructed themselves. The whole wonderful set of different journeys can take place inside one classroom."</span></p><p>Whilst there may not be one single definition of differentiation the following four ideas are at the heart of most commonly quoted definitions: ensuring access to learning | providing high challenge, low threat in a way all learners can succeed | scaffolding without reducing expectations | inclusive teaching for inclusive learning. You could contain these four ideas under the central idea of knowing your learners, and enabling them to access learning and be successful.</p><div class="dottedBox"><div><h4>Discuss:</h4><p>"Differentiation is all of the strategies, techniques and activities teachers use to help pupils to make good progress, irrespective of their starting points."
