I will be teaching all levels of students and would like to really offer lessons on the same skills but at a beginner, intermediate, and expert level within my classroom on a daily basis. How do you suggest to do this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One thing that I do to differentiate instruction is level the instruction around the amount of direct instruction that is required. For example, beginner students may be pulled into a small group to receive the instruction with limited independent reading of the content. The intermediate students could read independently to learn the material. After following up with these students, they could have an assignment to further their understanding of the material. Expert level students could be participate in more of a project-based learning activity. Perhaps, they could be assigned a product to complete. They would need to independently learn the material to complete the product.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree! It's important to focus on the lower level AND the advanced students. DI is very difficult because many times the higher students are forgotten. I like that you ensure all students are busy!
