This book is the ultimate guide to differentiation and adaptive teaching in early years, schools and further education settings by Sue Cowley, bestselling author of Getting the Buggers to Behave. It offers over 90 practical and time-saving strategies in every classroom. The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation demonstrates how teachers already differentiate and adapt their teaching much of the time, in subtle and creative ways. Sue Cowley shows that we need to understand, acknowledge and celebrate the variety of approaches that teachers already use, as well as helping them to develop additional strategies. The book takes the reader through the different methods and approaches to differentiation and adaptive teaching, providing a step-by-step guide to each. It is broken down into five core areas - planning, resources, learners, teaching and assessment - and readers can dip in and out to find strategies as and when they need them. Written in Sue's much loved realistic, honest and practical style, The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation will help teachers, practitioners and support staff to feel confident that they are meeting the needs of every learner.
This is the first entry-level book on algorithmic (also known as automatic) differentiation (AD), providing fundamental rules for the generation of first- and higher-order tangent-linear and adjoint code. The author covers the mathematical underpinnings as well as how to apply these observations to real-world numerical simulation programs. Readers will find: examples and exercises, including hints to solutions; the prototype AD tools dco and dcc for use with the examples and exercises; first- and higher-order tangent-linear and adjoint modes for a limited subset of C/C++, provided by the derivative code compiler dcc; a supplementary website containing sources of all software discussed in the book, additional exercises and comments on their solutions (growing over the coming years), links to other sites on AD, and errata.
This title is a comprehensive treatment of algorithmic, or automatic, differentiation. The second edition covers recent developments in applications and theory, including an elegant NP completeness argument and an introduction to scarcity.
Powerful strategies that will transform the way you teach and the way your students learn. Advancing Differentiation will lead you through the process of creating a thriving, student-centered, 21st-century classroom. Since its initial publication, the book’s materials have undergone rigorous testing and refinement in classrooms all over the world to deliver the best and most effective differentiation strategies. The strategies in this book will help you: Deeply engage every learner while challenging students to think critically, self-regulate, and direct their own learning Set new roles for student and teacher that encourage learner autonomy Employ cutting-edge techniques for designing...
In every classroom there are children of many abilities. Managing the curriculum to meet the needs of all of these children can prove to be time consuming and difficult, as both OFSTED inspection and teacher appraisal observations have shown. This book looks at the many ways that teachers can differentiate work for children whilst keeping their work load manageable. It gives lots of imaginative ideas for activities and worksheets, whole lesson plans and many clearly described examples to help teachers to differentiate work more effectively in their own classrooms. It is a resource book for initial Teacher Training and CPD (Continuing Professional Development); and for senior managers concerned with differentiation either before or after their OFSTED inspection.
Written specifically for K-12 mathematics teachers, this resource provides the "nuts and bolts" of differentiation. Presented in an easy-to-implement format, this handy notebook is designed to facilitate the understanding and process of writing differentiated lessons to accommodate all readiness levels, learning styles, and interests. The lessons are based on various differentiation strategies including tiered assignments, leveled questions, concrete/representation/abstract, multiple intelligences, choices board, open-ended tasks, problem-based learning, and learning contracts. Additionally, t.
One of the key features of an outstanding lesson is that all learners make progress. All learners are different and teachers must differentiate according to the individual pupil and their individual learning needs to achieve outstanding progress. Outstanding Differentiation for Learning in the Classroom is written with the class teacher in mind and demonstrates how differentiation can be used to enhance and support all aspects of the learning process. Including chapters on embedding differentiation during each phase of the lesson, assessment and questioning techniques, this book will help you to use differentiation effectively to produce outstanding results. With a strong focus on practical ...
Differentiation is an approach to education in which every student's individuality and special needs are taken into account. Practical and accessible, HOW TO SUCCEED IN DIFFERENTIATION reveals the approach taken in the high-achieving Finnish education system, where the national curriculum obligates all teachers to differentiate their teaching from the get-go. The book is divided into four parts. Part I explains the background of Finnish education and differentiation in the Finnish context. Part II investigates the theoretical basis for differentiation and strives to offer new perspectives for the most common challenges of differentiation. In addition, Part II introduces the reader to the imaginary example students, whose problems are attempted to be solved later in the book. In Part III, differentiation is approached through the five-dimensional model of differentiation, which the authors have created and which, in their opinion, covers the most central areas of teaching, in which differentiation should be acknowledged. In Part IV, differentiation is exemplified in language and literature, mathematics and foreign languages.
"In Doable Differentiation: Thirteen K-12, Across-the-Curriculum Strategies for Meeting the Needs of Today's Diverse Students, author Jane A.G. Kise provides thirteen research-based differentiated instruction strategies for K-12 educators to support, engage, and challenge students with diverse learning styles. While educators may question whether differentiated instruction is too complex to improve student performance, the low-effort, high-reward tools presented in this book outline structures for immediate, effective use. Doable Differentiation also aims to develop students into reflective, proficient learners-successful, thriving, engaged, agile, and maturing-who are actively engaged in their education"--
