Case 2135: Using non-fiction texts to make connections about ancient civilizations
1. Teacher’s role in differentiation
The teacher supports students in completing appropriately challenging tasks by keeping
various differentiated materials around the classroom. She provides reference materials for
students needing additional support or help with vocabulary. The teacher also supports the
students in completing their challenging tasks by sitting with each group and helping to facilitate
questions so that students can think deeper into the topic. She supports the students by having
them make connections to prior knowledge and focus only on the positive things that their other
group members are doing.
The teacher engages all students in learning by circulating each group and checking with
students on their understanding. During the lesson, she engages all students in questions and asks
them to think deeper about their statements. She also makes connections to prior knowledge. She
keeps the students on task and thinking positively. She encourages them to collaborate as a
group.
The teacher teaches for the success of all students. The teacher groups the students into
small groups. In the small groups, every student seems engaged, and the teacher reminds the
students to focus on the positive things that each group member is doing and redirects the
questions to focus on the positive. She lets the students collaborate on their questions and allows
for peer teaching. She circulates the room and spends time with each group. She is positive and
encouraging to each student and encourages their answers. She never tells them that they are
wrong in their answers; she will redirect them to a different topic or make a connection to past
learning.
