Response to Differentiation

Question: After attending the Differentiating Instruction session, what information will you incorporate in your planning and instruction and what information will you share with others?

My Answer: There were two resources that I loved. The first was the chart that was distributed where you can essentially map your curriculum and then list how you address each learning style. I will definately use that and share it with others. I will probably utilize the chart most when teaching Accounting and Business Management, which tend to be more lecture-oriented and less hands-on. The second item that I found most useful was the learning styles test. I already use a similar test with my students during the first week of school as a "get-to-know-you" type activity, and then I make a note the results in my gradebook. Because I teach a lot of the same students more than once, they tend to get tired of the same test. This one will give me a new one to use as a alternate.
