Differentiation in the ClassroomDifferentiated Instruction provides multiple approaches to content,process and product.
Teachers can differentiate…
■ Content: what students learnExamples: supplementary curriculum, extensions
■ Process: how students go about making sense of ideas and information
Examples: activity, opportunities to apply information or ideas
■ Product: how students demonstrate what they have learned Examples: portfolio, exhibition, project, etc.

Differentiation for Gifted StudentsDifferentiation
StrategyWhat it looks like in the classroom
General Examples
Specific Examples
Process Providing students with different ways to interact with content
-activity-use of curriculum designed for high ability learners
-integrating lessons and activities from Project M3:Factors, Multiples and Leftovers as a way for high ability learners to learn GCF and LCM
Product Providing options for demonstrating their learning
-choice board-tic-tac-toe menu
To show an understanding of the different regions of Virginia students can create a project of their choice (ie: artwork, piece of writing, performance, etc.)
Content Content typically is differentiated when a student has already mastered grade level standards for a particular unit or topic.
-standard extension-enrichment project
-extending the grade 5 order of operations standard to include parentheses and exponents
