Topic: Differentiating Instruction
For this discussion, you will respond to the Teacher’s Casebook in the Woolfolk text on p.506:
You have started a new job in a high school in your hometown. When you were in school, the student population was largely homogenous — white, working-to-middle class, and English-speaking. There was a “special education” class for students who had serious learning or developmental problems. But, in classes now, you find a wide range of reading levels, family incomes, and learning problems.
A few students are virtually ready for college, whereas several others can barely read the texts and their writing is difficult to decipher. Reading English texts is a challenge for some students, although they seem to speak English with little trouble.
On the Discussion Board, consider the following questions:
“How would you differentiate instruction for these very dissimilar students”? (Woolfolk, 2013, p.506)
How would you help the students develop their cognitive problems-solving skills? Give examples.
How would you build differentiated instruction into the design of a course, lesson, or training program?
How would you incorporate creativity, emotional, and tolerance teaching techniques in student learning?
Use your textbook and other resources such as journal articles to support your position.
Discussion 6
Topic: Considering Options and Reflective Practice
Imagine this scenario:
You are employed in a large urban school district with a very diverse population. Your school district has seven middle schools that have been declining in achievement over the past few years. As an educator, you have been assigned to discuss this problem and suggest solutions for these schools.
Some parents plan to homeschool their children and want to receive the per pupil expenditures that typically would go to the school. Other considerations include making one or more of the schools a charter school, making one or more a magnet school, or paying for a for-profit organization to manage the schools.
Consider the various options and propose a solution for the upcoming school year. How would you respond to the parents who want funding as they plan to homeschool their children? What strategies do you feel need to be in place? Support your position with at least one outside resource. Be sure to evaluate and respond to at least one position that is different from yours
