Differentiated Instruction or Personalized Education Plans
Every child gets instruction based on individual interest, learning preference, learning style, readiness level, ability, and preferred mode of learning, wow that's just to start. Wow is right, this may work for homeschoolers but may quickly diminish its effectiveness in a class of 34! One teacher with 34 students and they want quality differentiated instruction, classroom management, plus amazing test results! Is this goal impossible? Differentiated Instruction sounds like a wonderful theory or an Orwellian promise designed to keep teachers bouncing around like pinballs doing senseless retort with all students suffering mediocrity. I have a very simple educational philosophy "Teach to the TOP" and bring everyone along for the adventure, no matter the learning differences or learning style, all students benefit from a rich demanding curriculum. Individual interest, learning preference, learning style, readiness level, ability, a preferred mode of learning, is useless if you can't or won't participate in the learning! Sean Taylor M.Ed

MY GOLDEN RULEs:
- Teach to the top
- Differentiated formative assessments
- Kagan cooperative learning
- Micro-lectures, Brain Rules, and Whole Brain Teaching
- Keep the learning silly, novel, and absurd
RESOURCES FOR A Differentiated CLASSROOM Instruction and UDL.
Differentiated instruction and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are two approaches that share some key similarities in how they aim to meet diverse learner needs, but they have some distinct differences as well.
Similarities:
- Flexible methods - Both differentiate instruction and UDL incorporate flexible means of teaching and assessing based on individual students' strengths, needs, and interests.
- Proactive design - Lessons and learning environments are intentionally planned to reduce barriers and optimize access to learning.
- Student-centered - The learner is at the forefront, and their unique differences drive the design.
- Varied modalities -Presenting information and content through different mediums (visual, auditory, kinesthetic etc.)
Differences:
- Origin - Differentiated instruction emerged from responding to individual differences in a classroom. UDL arose more from universal design and special education frameworks.
- Scope - Differentiation tends to focus changes at the classroom or lesson level. UDL looks at total curriculum design.
- Flexibility - In differentiated classrooms students may choose options, but the overall plan is still teacher-directed. UDL promotes more student self-directed flexibility.
- Materials - Differentiation uses varied materials suited to levels. UDL emphasizes multiple means of representation, action, and engagement for all.
- Assessment - Differentiation may use tailored assessments. UDLvalues multiple means of assessing that validate different ways to show knowledge.
While differentiated instruction makes adaptations for groups/individuals, UDL builds in options for all learners from the outset through completely flexible design.

Differentiated instruction sounds amazing for students on paper but how do you make lesson plans that will actually meet the needs of all the students modalities, interest, abilities, learning styles, and readiness? It looks like you need five teachers for every child or a 50 hour school day to meet Differentiated Instruction philosophy.
