Can We Really Enforce Diffe... from www.miltonramirez.com
I was attending the all popular now #edchat and organized every Tuesday at 7 PM EST. on Twitter. It has been a great opportunity to know more participants, but also to learn a bit more about Differentiated Instruction (DI). If you missed the online session, here we give you the opportunity to catch some tweets which we believe are worth reading: We must not confuse DI with constructivism. Both are helpful, but they are not the same thing. @CorinaFiore Criterion referenced tests do not force one dimensional teaching and are not designed to cause failures. @BeckyFisher73 Main objective of DI is to provide a learning environment that will maximize the potential for student success. @NMHS_Principal Differentiated instruction without differentiated assessment is all talk. @TedPugliese There is great power in choice. @blairteach True differentiation is the opposite of standardized curriculum and testing. @concretekax I've found that when I give my students options, they have a hard time figuring out what to do. They're used to being spoon fed. @jswiatek I DO remember when we used to talk about creating life long learners! Did we succeed? @haretek If you want to receive my future posts regularly for FREE, please subscribe in a reader or by e-mail. Follow me on Twitter. For other concerns, Contact Me at anytime.

We found this post bookmarked in the old archives. It is a way of work for us to bookmark interesting information to look it over when we are not in a rush. If it wasn't for we had to reload our bookmarks, this post probably will never be commented. I don't quite remember exactly when was the last time I read on Twitter that teachers were to quit their jobs. If is not for the recession, there would be plenty at this moment. I came by Jane Byers Goodwin's blog, she is an experienced teacher in the public education system and she goes by @Mamacita on Twitter. Mrs. Bayers has written twice the post I am about to mention and Jane has good reasons to do it, it is time to stop rewarding the brats and disruptive kids in our schools. But as she says, problem begins at home when brats and bullies happen to be the very same parents. Read clearly, I am talking about the kids who can not help themselves to go to school or at least make a elemental effort to complete their assignments. I will speak for myself, I was working on a Catholic school back in the 2003 and I had good reasons to relate to many teachers in public schools. A small but significative proportion of teens, youngsters or pupils just don't want to be at school. They say they are attending school not because of their own sake, but parents compelling them to do so. Under this circumstances, a teacher feels as he chose the wrong career, and for some, the solution seems to be to change level of work, form high school to elementary school or middle school. Unfortunately, that is not a solution, they are landing a new problem. And many as Mamacita Jane writes, opt to leave their jobs: ...If you are not a teacher, it’s hard to comprehend the heartbreak these teachers feel: they love their students; they love teaching; they love every single thing about their jobs...except for the fact that they are required to endure what nobody else in any other profession would ever consider enduring. They’re required t
