Case: High and Low Ability Levels and all Those in Between
I have a student that STAR tested this week with an instructional reading level on tenth grade at the seventh month. I have another student that tested on a first grade reading level at the ninth month. For a classroom with such a range in reading ability levels, does the high achieving student benefit from being a peer tutor for a student with such a low reading level or should the differentiation for the high student be on the tenth grade level? It seems that with the new student growth percentiles that this method for differentiating would be beneficial to the lower student, but would not produce the challenge needed for the higher student to meet their growth percentiles. Am I correct?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The challenge of differentiating instructions for a wide range of learns is not uncommon to teachers. I would create similar assignments, yet differentiate and provide scaffold support within the assignment for students who need support. Students who excel will complete their challenging assignment first, then tutor their classmates. Therefore, you ensure that all students have been challenged. |
