The Differentiated Learning Lab

This bundle includes two differentiated current events analysis activities that help students connect real-world issues to government power and constitutional principles.Students analyze current policies, evaluate how power is used, and examine how the Constitution and checks and balances shape decision-making. Each resource includes structured questions, writing tasks, reflection, and a rubric, with three levels of differentiation to support all learners.

This Algebra 1 culminating project gives students the opportunity to apply their understanding of algebra to a real-world problem within their school. Students use equations, graphs, and mathematical reasoning to analyze a situation, make predictions, and propose a solution. This project is designed to build critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world application skills while reinforcing key algebra concepts such as variables, linear relationships, slope, and intercept. The project is ful

This differentiated current events activity helps students analyze real-world government policies and understand how government power affects people’s daily lives. Students research a current policy, identify stakeholders, analyze intended and unintended consequences, and evaluate whether the policy is effective. The activity includes three levels of differentiation (Core Understanding, Analysis, and Advanced Thinking), making it easy to support a range of learners in one classroom. This resourc

This differentiated current events activity helps students analyze how government power is limited by the Constitution and shaped by checks and balances. Students examine a current issue, identify relevant constitutional principles, analyze how power is exercised, and evaluate whether checks and balances are working. The resource includes three levels of differentiation, allowing teachers to support all learners while maintaining rigor. Students also complete a written evaluation and reflection,

This differentiated close-reading and writing lesson is designed to help students build strong analytical thinking and evidence-based writing skills by using Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “The Danger of a Single Story.”Students engage in a structured lesson that includes pre-reading reflection, close reading, text-based questions, multiple-choice practice, analytical writing, and final reflection. Each section is differentiated into three levels (Core Understanding, Analysis, and Advanced Thinking

This engaging social-emotional learning (SEL) lesson helps students understand and manage big emotions such as anger, frustration, and worry. Through interactive activities, discussion, and reflection, students learn how to recognize their feelings, understand how emotions show up in their bodies, and practice effective strategies to calm down. Students create their own Calm Down Toolkit, giving them practical tools they can use both in and out of the classroom. The lesson includes movement, di

This week-long spiral review includes 5 days of math and ELA practice with built-in differentiation for grades 3–5. Each day offers multiple levels so teachers can support all learners using one consistent resource. Ideal for morning work, review, or independent practice, this low-prep routine saves time while reinforcing key skills all week long.

This differentiated spiral review is designed to make daily practice simple and effective in multi-level classrooms. Each page includes math and ELA skills with three levels of difficulty, allowing teachers to meet the needs of a wide range of learners using one consistent resource. It can be used for morning work, bell ringers, independent practice, or review. The structured format helps students build routine and confidence while giving teachers a low-prep solution for daily instruction. This
