- 1. Module Three Welcome and Overview
- 2. RETHINIKING INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE A Fresh Look at Technology Integration
- 3. Objectives ⦿ Re-examine instructional practices in light of your experience, student engagement, and student success ⦿ Use technology as the cornerstone for revisioning of differentiation of instruction, behavior management, and student engagement ⦿ Consider high leverage teaching practices, infusing technology to improve student achievement ⦿ Analyze instructional practice to include student use of appropriate technology
- 4. Quick Review! ⦿ Differentiation ⦿ Classroom Management ⦿ Student Engagement
- 5. What is Differentiated Instruction? ⦿ Adjusting the curriculum, teaching strategies, and classroom environment to better meet the needs of all students ⦿ In a differentiated classroom: ● Student differences shape the curriculum ● Pre-assessment is typical and frequent ● Multiple options for students are offered ● There is variable pacing ● Varied grading criteria are used ● Individual efforts and growth are honored from How to Differentiate Mixed-Ability Classrooms by Carol-Ann Tomlinson
- 7. How do I differentiate? ⦿ First, you will need to determine… ● Student Readiness (Growth!) ○ Skill Level and Background Knowledge ○ Are tasks a close match for their skills? ● Student Interest (Motivation!) ○ Attitude and Engagement ○ Do tasks ignite curiosity and passion? ● Student Learning Profiles (Efficiency!) ○ Processing Information ○ Does the assignment require students to work in a preferred manner?
- 8. What do I differentiate? ⦿ Content ● The “what” of teaching ● Topics, concepts, themes presented to students ● Concentrate on the most essential understandings, concepts, and skills ● Vary the complexity of learning, including materials (fiction, nonfiction, media, primary sources) From Differentiating Instruction in the Regular Classroom by Diana Heacox
- 9. What do I differentiate? ⦿ Process ● The “how” of teaching ● Ways in which students make sense of content ● Add greater complexity or abstractness to tasks ● Engage students in critical and creative thinking ● Increase the variety of ways in which you ask them to learn
- 10. What do I differentiate? ⦿ Product ● The end results of learning ● Plan units that reflect many ways to represent learning ● Think: voice and choice, menus, rubrics, tiered products
- 11. How do I get started?

- 13. Think, Pair, Share What technology could be used to enhance instruction and learning regarding differentiation?
- 14. Definitions of Classroom Management ⦿ The process of ensuring that lessons run smoothly ⦿ The prevention of disruptive behavior ⦿ The process of managing behaviors ⦿ Designing an activity, monitoring it, and following up ⦿ Both the tangible and intangible techniques we use to engage students and keep them engaged KEY: Classroom management is more than just managing student behavior.
- 15. 5 R’s for Successful Classroom Management ⦿ Relationships ⦿ Routines and Procedures ⦿ Relevance and Expectations ⦿ Room Arrangement ⦿ Reinforcements
- 16. Think Back to Daniel Pink in Module 1… ⦿ How have you applied Daniel Pink’s three dimensions of intrinsic motivation to your classroom? ● Autonomy ● Mastery ● Purpose

- 19. Student Engagement ⦿ Daniel Pink’s To Sell is Human ●Attunement ●Buoyancy ●Clarity
- 20. Student Engagement ⦿ Daniel Pink’s To Sell is Human ●Attunement - How do you make yourself aware of students’ interests and needs? ●Buoyancy ●Clarity
- 21. Student Engagement ⦿ Daniel Pink’s To Sell is Human ●Attunement - How do you make yourself aware of students’ interests and needs? ●Buoyancy - How do you (and your students) cope with failure? ●Clarity
- 22. Student Engagement ⦿ Daniel Pink’s To Sell is Human ●Attunement - How do you make yourself aware of students’ interests and needs? ●Buoyancy - How do you (and your students) cope with failure? ●Clarity - What strategies do you use to ensure clear objectives and instruction?
- 23. Student Engagement ⦿ ICAP student engagement framework (Chi, 2014) ●interactive learning ●constructive learning ●active learning ●passive learning I > C > A > P In other words, students are more engaged and learn more through interactive learning than through constructive learning, and more so than through active learning or through passive learning
- 24. Student Engagement ⦿ ICAP student engagement framework ●passive learning- ○student are oriented towards instruction ○information is received by learners ○examples - paying attention to a lecture, watching a video, listening to a read aloud
- 25. Student Engagement ⦿ ICAP student engagement framework ● active learning - ○students are oriented to instruction ○engagement involves physical interaction and manipulation ○examples - underlining and highlighting as one reads, modeling a given math problem, following prescribed science labs
- 26. Student Engagement ⦿ ICAP student engagement framework ● constructive learning - ○students generate products beyond information given ○students create ‘new’ outputs ○examples - taking notes, comparing/contrasting, integrating arts, drawing conclusions, self-explaining
- 27. Student Engagement ⦿ ICAP student engagement framework ● interactive learning ○dialog between or among partners in which: 1) each partner’s contributions are constructive and 2) sufficient turn-taking occurs. ○examples - team projects, constructive controversy, googledoc collaborations, adaptive learning/teaching apps, debate
- 28. Student Engagement ⦿ ICAP student engagement framework ●interactive learning ●constructive learning ●active learning ●passive learning I > C > A > P In other words, students are more engaged and learn more through interactive learning than through constructive learning, than through active learning than through passive learning

- 31. Re-engineering a Lesson You brought a lesson with you today that did not go ‘as planned.’ Take some time to analyze your lesson through the lenses of differentiation, behavior management and student engagement. ⦿ What went well? ⦿At what point did the lesson veer from what you had expected? ⦿ Which lens helps you explain the discrepancies? Prepare to re-engineer your lesson plan!
- 32. Re-engineering a Lesson ⦿ Rewrite one or more parts of your lesson plan, with changes regarding differentiation, classroom management and/or student engagement in mind. ⦿ Consider what technology could do for you… ● How could you use technology to enhance instruction? ● How could students use technology to enhance their learning?
