shyj10/10/115:05 PM@techsavvyed @ShawnMcCusker Exactly! As well as having some kind of task organizer for Ss to keep them on track. #sschat

ShawnMcCusker10/10/115:05 PM@shyj Dont convince. SHOW results teach and arguments divide. Invite them into your class. Rock them and they will follow. #sschat

ShawnMcCusker10/10/115:04 PM@shyj We have to lighten up abt them turning work that is different- Did they learn the objective, have they related effectively? #sschat

imarchbanks10/10/115:04 PMRT @ThalesDream: @historyfriend I do this by having small groups. Roles: speaker, fact-checker, note-taker. Defend MC answers. Cite answer. Record. #sschat

techsavvyed10/10/115:03 PM@ShawnMcCusker @shyj Using a rubric or checklist to manage the learning objectives makes grading projects easier #sschat

Becky_Ellis_10/10/115:03 PM@techsavvyed I think that is why we all look forward to #sschat... we all think differently
20
irishteach10/10/115:02 PMFirst day of school my students have to tell me their 3 favorite class activities & one they don't like. I use that. #sschat
21
shyj10/10/115:02 PM@ShawnMcCusker It shouldn't b but many Ts can't handle having Ss create different end products. Glad to hear you have a handle on it #sschat
22
imarchbanks10/10/115:02 PM@mrphooke @Aaron_Eyler ALL teachers must demonstrate to students how to breakdown essay questions. Skills are often left only to ELA #sschat
23
ShawnMcCusker10/10/115:02 PMRT @WackJacq: #sschat I recommend this book for learning about Differentiated Instruction: http://t.co/Tq6Iquoc
24
irishteach10/10/115:02 PM@ashlified good idea to give students a survey on rigor. Love hearing their voices #sschat
25

techsavvyed10/10/115:01 PM@ShawnMcCusker @shyj You have NO idea how many secondary teachers don't think like educators in that sense of student choice #sschat

33
AHenrey10/10/115:00 PM@xianb8 Ok so in a second of clarity I realized rigor stems from the same root of regime...something I'll think about more. #sschat
34
WackJacq10/10/115:00 PM#sschat Ironic: Differentiation used to describe the bell curve of test scores. Now that we differentiate our goal is a universal outcome
35
ShawnMcCusker10/10/115:00 PM@shyj So long as they demonstrate mastery of the L.O. is the format really an issue? Unless the format is the L.O. #sschat
36
techsavvyed10/10/115:00 PMRT @ShawnMcCusker: @shyj sure- some kids work visually, i provide a visual option, Others are verbal, they can blog post, others artist, they can draw #sschat
37
rvesper10/10/115:00 PMRT @mikekaechele: I like @johntspencer 's term of personalization of learning better than differentiation. #sschat

lm4kids10/10/115:00 PM#sschat Thanks, Everyone! i had fun and learned a lot. So many great ideas.
39
shyj10/10/115:00 PM@ShawnMcCusker So kids get to decide on the output (end product) as well? How do you manage their choices? #sschat

EDSITEment10/10/115:00 PM@Becky_Ellis_ Agreed about Tocqueville I think one could use him THROUGHOUT the US history course #sschat

53
irishteach10/10/114:59 PM@shyj Kids can produce different things-just need to explain what they learned. #sschat Once had kids do written or oral essays.
54
shyj10/10/114:59 PM@ashlified Yes, our eMINTS teachers that I train had to do that this year. #sschat

60
lmosierhistgkk10/10/114:58 PM#sschat So I'm not the only one facing large class sizes. For me, TECH helps diff. by providing different resources for stdts.

73
irishteach10/10/114:57 PM@shyj @Soni42 @ShawnMcCusker Can add more to class-if kids are at different levels it is easier on text w/ the resources available #sschat

75
ShawnMcCusker10/10/114:57 PM#sschat no task they put before us is ever done. we just have to keep heading diligently in the right direction. #hardisnoexcuse
76
historyfriend10/10/114:57 PM@JudyArzt One way to learn about sts is to give them freedom to research what they want for a day and see what they choose. #sschat

81
grayseawhite10/10/114:56 PM@EDSITEment I think the question needs to be HOW do you teach students to analyze a text? #sschat @ciasiello
82
imarchbanks10/10/114:56 PMRT @ThalesDream: Q2: Taking a position and defending it with evidence and reasoning is rigorous. Written or oral. #sschat

91
AHenrey10/10/114:55 PM@Ron_Peck That is awful! Definitely group projects would help. #sschat
92
ShawnMcCusker10/10/114:54 PM@AHenrey I agree. But I feel it requires a duality that squanders time. I pursue success on both with all my heart. BUt.... #sschat

95
shyj10/10/114:54 PM@mrstesterman @becky_ellis_ Hopefully it will, but some Ts put too many restrictions on output, thus ending differentiation #sschat
