the truth and nothing but…
Hello all! I have decided to use this blog in order to explore the many facets of differentiated instruction.
I spent the past two years teaching at an international boarding school for childrem with learning disabilities. Despite taking a few professional development classes dedicated to help my colleagues and I understand differentiated instruction; I still have a plethora of questions regarding its execution and effectiveness.
Having taught in a classroom with less than 14 students at any given time I am most curious to know its effects in a larger classroom.
I currently subscribe to the following feeds on GoogleReader:
CNN
Creating Ideal Lives (a blog on differentiated instruction)
NY Times
MSNBC
U.S. Department of Education
GoogleNews – differentiated instruction
I chose MSNBC, CNN and NY Times because they are reliable news sources and cover a variety of topics. I read through a few blogs and “Creating Ideal Lives” seemed to be the one that will be the most helpful in this endeavor. I did a search on Google.com for articles about differentiated instruction and set up a direct feed to my GoogleReader account. Both the search query and the feed to the Department of Education are obvious choices to compliment my blog.
Of course, I am open to any feed suggestions!
