Differentiated Instruction Strategy Assignment

For this assignment, pair the differentiated instruction strategies with the Georgia Standards of

Excellence to create a differentiated instructional tool for a middle school science or math class.

Think about the different types of learners that are in the classroom. There are multiple things

to consider when creating a differentiated lesson (learning styles, student interests, etc.), not

just students with disabilities. However, for this assignment consider the students with a

disability and tailor the differentiation to address those that have been identified with a

disability and those that have not. A differentiation with learning styles or students’ interests

will NOT fulfill this class assignment.

Step 1: Visit the following website https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/50-strategies-for-

differentiated-instruction/

Step 2: Select and become familiar with 1 differentiated strategy from the list of strategies from

the site.

Step 3: Visit the following website:

https://www.georgiastandards.org/Georgia-Standards/Pages/default.aspx

Step 4: Select a middle grades standard (4th-8th) from math or science.

Step 5: Create a tool that could be utilized in a differentiated class session when teaching this

standard. (This just needs to be an example of an assignment from the middle grades standard

you selected that demonstrates differentiation based on the strategy you chose. For example,

it could be tiered assignments, a document that gives student choice, etc.) Remember, we are

tailoring this tool specifically towards those who have been identified with disabilities and

those who have not.

Submit the following:

 A copy of the tool

 A brief explanation of why you selected this tool and how this tool could be used to

support a differentiated class lesson while teaching this standard. Also explain what

type of disability could be supported with this activity
