Dear Parents.
Differentiated instruction is a teaching philosophy which acknowledges that every child is unique and has his or her own preferred learning style. As your child's teacher, I am attempting to adapt my instruction and expectations to student differences. You may have already noticed some strategies I implement to accomplish this goal, such as notebooks/portfolios with a reflection section, test retakes, assignment "redos," after school tutoring, graphic organizers, flash card reviews, buddy system, downloading homework from my website for students, daily objectives and lesson plans written on the board, movement-oriented activities, cooperative learning, teams at tables rather than individuals at desks, artwork, mapwork, student presentations, and special projects. I sincerely hope that my efforts are making the classroom a safe and comfortable environment where your child can thrive on successful experiences.
