Examples and Strategies of Differentiated Instruction

Differentiated instruction strategies include: 1) Allowing students to choose their own topics for inquiry-based projects to accommodate different learning abilities and encourage creativity. 2) Using interest surveys to understand students' interests and how to best present information to different learners. 3) Stimulating all the senses (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) in lessons and assessments to address varying student needs and learning styles.

Examples and Strategies of Differentiated Instruction

1. Inquiry unit of work- encourages students to research and develop a


topic of their choice within the boundaries of the subject area and content.
It allows for a range of learning abilities, room to work at their own pace
and encourages maximum creativity. Most importantly, students are
taking responsibility for their own work.
2. Interest surveys- surveys that combine their interests into the studied
learning areas, to grasp an understanding of what the individual students
are likely to relate to and how the teacher might best present the learning
information.
3. Utilise stimulation of all senses- When developing learning
opportunities and assessment tasks, incorporate visual stimuli, audible
stimuli and kinaesthetic stimuli. Addressing all senses allows students to
develop their skills in varying ways and accommodates different needs.
4. Student Learning Profile Cards- develop a student profile identifying
their preferred methods of learning. Ensure to identify multiple
approaches, as rarely will a student be strictly categorised into one
approach. In developing this, reading each student profile that has been
added to in each school year, will give a teacher an idea of how the
student may learn before the year begins. It is important to know the
student.
5. Give students choice- Students would complete their assessment task
or learning activity addressing the same overarching question or topic, but
can present their information in any way they choose
6. Individualised feedback- Teachers should offer individual feedback
opportunities both within and outside of class time. This will allow students
to work with the teacher one-on-one to ensure progress is steady and
provide an opportunity to develop individual learning plans if necessary.
7. Assign peer helpers- if a student is struggling to remain focused,
assigning a responsible friend to the student will make the work more
enjoyable whilst giving the student the support to complete the work.
8. Strengths and weaknesses- Identify strengths and weaknesses and
allow time to practice both skills. Everybody has a strength and weakness
and it is important to develop weaknesses whilst remaining confident and
recognising individual strengths,
9. Mini Lesson- Addressing the whole class or select students within the
class, begin with an introductory activity that focuses on a skill, strategy or
concept before being lead into the larger lesson
10.Ask open ended questions- Encourages student thought and
development of opinion. Some students may struggle to contribute to the
questions, others will be natural but open ended questions encourage
students to develop critical thinking skills and verbal skills at their own
pace.
11.Group activities- provide opportunities for students to work in interest
based groups, strength based groups and mixed groups with assigned
roles. A variety of paired groups encourages different learning
opportunities and development

12.Set expectations and goals- Identify individual goals and class goals
showing students the point to their learning and identify their progress.
