The Common Sense of Differentiation:

DVD Series

Meeting Specific Learner Needs in the Regular Classroom

Use the DVD and accompanying Facilitator’s Guide to visit elementary, middle, and high school classes to see how a differentiated approach helps to identify the learning needs of students and adapt instructional plans to maximize success for each learner. Program 1, Discovering Learner Needs, examines how teachers identify/understand learner needs by: Assessing students’ status related to the prerequisites for a particular course unit; Preassessing students’ knowledge, understanding, and skills that are the focus of an upcoming unit; and Using ongoing assessment to understand each student’s progress toward essential goals. Program 2, Techniques for Adjusting Instruction, helps teachers explore techniques for addressing students’ diverse learning needs. Teachers explain and demonstrate how they determine “clusters” of learning needs among their students and use a range of techniques to help students draw on their strengths and overcome learning problems. Program 3, Classroom Routines, explores routines that help teachers address learner needs in ways that are comfortable and predictable for both teachers and students. Scenes from elementary and secondary classrooms demonstrate classroom routines that anticipate and address variance in learner needs and support differentiation.

Budget reductions, heavier workloads, more rigorous curricular standards, the inclusion of students with disabilities, as well as the increased numbers of English language learners (ELLs) are just a few of the many factors contributing to the rising pressure on today’s classroom teachers. What inspired Let’s Team Up? There is a growing recognition of the importance of paraeducators in the educational process and how their contributions can be so vital to student achievement. That is why an effective, collaborative and productive team of teachers, paraeducators and principals working together is essential to success in 21st century schools. How does the Checklist help build partnerships? Dr. Kent Gerlach, nationally known consultant, presenter and author on paraeducator training, teaming and collaboration, presents a practical resource that clarifies the roles and responsibilities of each of the three essential members of the instructional team. Written in an easy-to-read checklist format, Kent provides valuable strategies and insights for each member of the instructional team: the teacher, the paraeducator and the principal.
