15:31 Share

In this episode, I will be sharing all about differentiating for varied proficiency levels in your classroom. You will hear about the four ways you can differentiate, as well as concrete examples of how it might look for you and your students. 

This episode is part of this month’s series where we are talking about lesson planning as part of our short and actionable summer professional development podcast episodes. In episode 70, I shared three mistakes many teachers make when it comes to lesson planning. In last week's episode, episode 71, I walked you through how to write content and language objectives for your ELs.

I hope that, just like others, this episode will leave you excited and inspired to begin planning for the upcoming year.

What you will hear about in this episode:

• Four easy ways to differentiate a lesson to cater to the individual needs of students with varied proficiency levels in their classroom.
• How to differentiate content, process, product, and learning environment to make lessons more accessible for all students.
• Examples of how to implement these strategies in their own teaching practice and adapt them to different classroom settings.
• Helpful resources such as Newsela and News in Levels for finding articles with different reading levels and vocabulary words to cater to individual student abilities.
• The importance of setting clear goals and expectations, establishing classroom routines, and creating a conducive learning environment for effective classroom management and student success.
