Mrs. Owens has been kind enough to share a form she uses when posting student work. I hope you find it useful! You can click on the link below or on the "Useful Handouts" page.
Here are a couple of ideas that you may find useful as you are planning your differentiation. Please feel free to share anything you try or find. I'd love to hear your comments, as well. Grouping Ideas At the end of a lesson, have students decide at what level they feel they have mastered the standard. Students can put a notecard with their name on it in the appropriate folder; they can even add questions, if you like. Now you know who has mastered the standard and can be accelerated, who needs additional help and who needs re-teaching. Differentiating for ELL StudentsA Sample Reading Lesson
The problems the teacher faces when teaching differentiated classes (ranging from mixed ability to ELLs) include how to plan lessons that can meet the needs of all the students, preventing the higher-performing students from getting bored and the lower-performing students from feeling lost. Reading Tasks for Lower-Performing Students
Since many ELLs are still not achieving proficiency in general education classes and across content areas, teachers need to find ways of integrating these students to help them catch up with their native English-speaking peers. By building on the knowledge of what ELLs can do successfully, either individually or in small groups, teachers will have a much easier time customizing instruction so that ELLs can reach their learning potential.

We are excited about having Gilda Lyons come and share about differentiation strategies. Ms. Lyons is the STEM coordinator at the GADOE and has a vast knowledge of implementing differentiation in the classroom. She is an engaging speaker and I know you will enjoy her sessions. The schedule is listed below:
Tuesday 10/20/15 8:30 am - Social Studies 12:30 pm - ELA Friday 11/13/15 8:30 am - Math 12:30 pm - Science The sessions will last approximately 3 hours and you will be getting a substitute for your classes. Your presence is requested...Thursday during your planning period. Bring lesson plans and any questions you may have! Be ready to participate and collaborate. You will have the opportunity to share your good ideas with your peers as well as get a close-up look at their plans too! I have put a few below from several different departments to get us started. Items to look for - activating strategies, body of instruction, literacy integration, summarizing strategies, students' use of technology, types of assessment and/or student work, and differentiation. Please comment below on what you see that you like or may use in your own plans.
