LEARNING TARGET

To help teachers of special needs students and English learners implement the CCGPS with

fidelity for this specialized group of students by demonstrating effective differentiation in the

standards based classroom instruction. Participants will be shown new and cutting-edge methods of intervention and modification that will result in

measurable gain in learning and achievement for all students.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

vocabulary.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.3.1a Explain the function of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs

WHICH STUDENTS ARE BEING LEFT OUT IN THE TYPICAL CLASSROOM SETTING?

Without differentiation, we can easily answer that most English Language Learners, gifted and

talented, and struggling students are being left behind.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION

ALL learners are not alike!

Every parent or teacher knows that no two children learn in the same way or at the

same time.

WHAT IS DIFFERENTIATION?

Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs.

ANCIENT CHINESE PROVERB

Tell me, I forget.Show me, I remember.Involve me, I understand.

DIFFERENTIATION WORKS

PROS AND CONS OF INSTRUCTION

With the introduction of the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards, the growing trend for students with special needs and English Language Learners is to “push them into the traditional classroom setting.”

GOODBYE RESOURCE ROOM

We are now seeing less and less of the pullout practices of taking students into a self contained

resource room with their specials teachers.

COMMON THOUGHTS AND PRACTICES

The common thought is that the traditional model fails to provide students an education in the least

restrictive environment.

“WHOSE STUDENTS ARE THEY?”

Too many times, general education teachers expect the ELL or Special Education teachers to take care

of “their kids.”

THE IDEAL LEARNER

The problem with much of today’s curriculum is that we are basing it on the ideal “average student” and truthfully cognitive neuroscience says there is

no such student.

UNDERSERVING OUR STUDENTS

English Language Learners, or students with special needs, can be sidelined by our more

complex common core curriculum, which requires more of a depth of knowledge, if the proper

techniques are not used.

GIFTED AND TALENTED

Gifted and talented students can also be underserved by having a main stream

curriculum.

HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS

Some feel that the average teacher may not be qualified or trained to assist students with

disabilities.

TEAM TEACHING

One of the hardest things to get used to in a team-taught classroom is how to split teaching

responsibilities; that is, actual instruction of students.

TEAMWORK

When general education classroom teachers take the time to share ideas and plan together, as well as utilize the “co-teaching” system in the classroom, the results will be

POSITIVE!
