Anchor Activity Debrief
In Table Groups
• Discuss:
- how this task was differentiated
- the learning outcomes for each of the choices
- how the activity was differentiated
- the option you selected and your reasons
• Listen to a few $1.00 summaries
• To learn more about your group, complete the Table

Create a Table Profile
Use the DI Scrapbook to determine:
• Your environmental learning
preferences (p.11)
• Your preferred Triarchic
Intelligence (p.10 or p. 16)
• Where you are in your use of DI on
the DI continuum (p.25)
Note your information on the Table

Corners
Differentiated
• Go to the corner that best describes you
and form groups of three
• Share with the participants in your corner:
- grades and subjects you teach
- prior experience with DI
- an example of how your learner
preferences affected your
learning/teaching
SS/L-18ITEB 2010 Differentiated Instruction Summer Program
13
I Wonder
What are you wondering about differentiated
instruction or the DI Summer Program?
• Write each “I wonder” on a separate sticky note
• Share your “I wonders” at the table (e.g., I wonder
if DI means individualized programming.)
• Post the “I wonders” from your group on the
wall in the indicated area.

Personal Learning Goal
• Refer back to the DI
Implementation Continuum
• Review and reflect on where
you are in your
implementation of DI
• Set one specific goal for
yourself to meet before the
December break

Professional Learning Strategy
- a province-wide strategy to build the
capacity of educators in Grades 7-12 to find
out about their learners and respond to their
diverse needs by differentiating instruction

DI Professional Learning Strategy
The heart of school improvement rests in
improving daily teaching and learning
practices in schools, including engaging
students and their families.

Goals of the DI Professional Learning
Strategy
• To increase the instructional knowledge and skills of
educators of grades 7-12 so that they can meet the diverse
needs of all students;
• To build awareness of Differentiated Instruction as a
framework for planning and implementing effective
instruction, assessment and evaluation practices as
outlined in the Ontario curriculum;
• To facilitate and support job-embedded professional
learning opportunities through collaborative inquiry.

A New Definition of Professional
Learning
Good teaching occurs when educators on teams
are involved in a cycle in which they analyze
data, determine student and adult learning
goals based on that analysis, design joint lessons
that use evidence-based strategies, have access
to coaches for support in improving their
classroom instruction, and then assess how their
learning and teamwork affects student
achievement.

Key Messages
DOING
KNOWING
Deepen and widen implementation with a focus on
classrooms – in all subject areas by all teachers
Assessment drives differentiated instruction;
professional learning about differentiated instruction
and assessment should happen at the same time.
Integrating literacy, mathematics, assessment and evaluation
and differentiated instruction will ensure alignment of and
support for your work in improving student achievement
Ministry directions, initiatives and policies are aligned and
integrated (e.g., DI, Growing Success, Learning for All)

Clarifying DI - Concept Attainment
Concept attainment is a strategy that:
• helps groups construct a common
understanding of a concept
• pools the knowledge of each person in the
room to construct a common understanding
of the concept of DI.

Module 1 - Conclusion
When all is said and done, the purpose of
differentiated instruction is to work smarter as
teachers – so that our students work smarter
as students. The point is not to be
overwhelmed by a myriad of instructional and
assessment strategies but to be selective and
purposeful in our use of them.
