EDUC 300 Classroom Management and Effective Teaching

Name: Mallory Matthies

Differentiated Learning Strategies - See Differentiation Packet for Assistance

Directions: Develop a specific teaching idea for the compacting differentiation strategy.
Focus on “skills” compacting for your example. First write an “instructional objective,”
a “learner will” statement, for each teaching idea that is very specific to an “instructional
goal.” This should not be a classroom activity. Then continue with a differentiated
teaching activity or example that will meet that instructional goal.
(See Model for assistance.)

Instructional Objective: The learner will correctly differentiate the life cycles and
habitats of animals that live in the jungle.

Assessment:
Sarah: Diorama of the life cycle of an animal
Josh: Report and PowerPoint about different habitats of the jungle
Anna: Script and performance about animals who live in the jungle
Activity/Example: Create and fill out “The Compactor” Form – in Differentiation
Packet.
(You will need to compact for three different students.)
