Selecting Appropriate materials for Differentiation
- Maximize engagement and student focus using small group learning to differentiate instruction (Gregory & Chapman, 2013; Lauren Price & Steed, 2016)
- Provide and plan for independent practice opportunities with multimodal, concrete, technology-based experiences.
- Create flexible groupings instead of continually static groups to allow for greater differentiation.
- Provide consistent routines that allow small group flexibility as needed.
- Increase opportunities to differentiate instruction through learning styles.
- Increase opportunities to differentiate instruction through personality preferences.
- Discuss learning style preferences with your students and help them develop growth areas (Gregory & Chapman, 2013; Lauren Price & Steed, 2016).
- Implement multimodal strategies and tasks.
- Strategically group students for collaborative learning opportunities
- Talk to your students about how they like to work with others and help them develop growth areas.
- Include social learning opportunities.
Selecting Appropriate materials for Technology Integration

- Use technology as an authentic learning tool, not just a product or for entertainment (Shatri, 2020).

- Monitor students when they use technology.
- Utilize the instructional technology to differentiate for student needs (D.T., personal communication, May 31, 2023)
- Use technology to remediate, enrich, and translate instructional opportunities.
