Differentiated Assignments

by Patricia Pavelka, Lois Schenking (Editor), Janine Geida (Illustrator)

Workbook pages and work sheets are not multileveled. When all students work on the exact same page and are expected to produce the same outcome, that`s not differentiated work. You give assignments to children so they can show acquisition of skills and understanding of what is being taught but they can do this in different ways. This book gives you specific ideas to use when giving assignments. These ideas do not mean a lot of work for you! Instead of planning three or four different assignments for the different levels in your room, you plan one assignment that can be completed in a variety of ways based on a child`s interests, prior knowledge, and academic ability. (Grades 1-8)
