Differentiated Lesson Planning Template

No two students enter your classroom with the same abilities, experiences, and needs. Because your students have differences in their readiness to learn, background knowledge, English proficiency, and learning styles, it is important that we meet them where they are…instead of adopting a “one size fits all” method of teaching. Use this chart to effectively differentiate your lessons to meet the varying needs of your students. ======================================================================

About the store

Experience

I've been teaching for 40+ years. I was an elementary science specialist for much of my career, but have been teaching gifted education for the last 20+ years.

Teaching style

My teaching style is geared to meet the needs of my students’ learning styles. Sometimes that's like spinning a dozen plates at once. To the untrained eye, this may look like chaos, but there is real, student centered learning going on...and that is not always quiet or neat. I am definitely the “guide on the side” in my classroom.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I have been Teacher of the Year for my school system and NASA Teacher of the Year for my state. I have written curriculum for my State Department of Education as well as several other state agencies I conduct workshops and trainings at the local, state, and national level.

My own education history

I have a BS in elementary education from The University of Alabama, a MS in elementary education from The University of Alabama in Birmingham, and a gifted specialist certification from The University of Alabama.

Additional biographical information

Mom, Yai Yai, friend, widow, traveler, digital diva, list-maker, and a closet crafter. I'm pretty sure that if teachers ran the government, all our debt issues would be solved in short order.
