American College of Education Interest and Differentiation Discussion

Student Interest and Differentiation( This’s a discussion question)

–Student interest is often captured in a learning profile.

-Use the questions to guide your original response

– Do you think engaging a student based on his or her interest, as identified by a learning profile, would be beneficial in differentiated instruction? Why or why not?

PART 1: DIFFERENTIATED LESSON PLAN

Using what you have already created in your Modules 1-4 assignments, assemble all the created components into one differentiated lesson plan using an orderly approach. Omit items unnecessary for the lesson plan, and add elements as needed. Focus on all 3 types of learners (advanced, average, and struggling) but only create one comprehensive lesson plan.

PART 2: FINAL REFLECTION

Compose a 2- to 3-page final reflection (not including the title and references pages) in APA format.

Use these questions to guide your final reflection:

• When reviewing the reflections from the previous modules, how has your thinking changed in relation to differentiated instruction?
• What impact will well-designed differentiated instruction have on your future instructional practices?
