In preparation for your differentiated lesson planning that spans over the next three weeks, you will engage in a collaborative learning activity to broaden your understanding of research-based teaching practices that have been shown to enhance student learning. As you know, you are required to incorporate each of the following research-based practices in at least one of the differentiated lessons you create in this course:
? Integration of technology
?
? Collaboration with members of a professional learning community
?
? Working with families and communities to support student learning
?
? Data-informed instruction
Select one of these research-based practices you would like to further explore and report back to your colleagues. Then gather information about the practice by talking with other teachers, conducting an Internet search, and/or reviewing journal articles in the Walden Library. As you explore this particular practice, focus on the following questions:
? What are two or more critical guidelines you would provide to ensure that your colleagues effectively implement this practice?
?
? What online resource would you recommend to colleagues for them to further explore this practice? What useful information is provided there?
?
? How does this practice, combined with Differentiated Instruction, have the potential to improve teaching and learning? How can it support or enhance a specific differentiated strategy (e.g., tiered lessons, exit cards, flexi0uping, or other)?
