1:30 - 2:30 - Crash Course in Differentiation

[]
 * What does this have to do with teaching and learning?

How to start?
 * Two Zones: Required Differentiation and Differentiated Classroom
 * Required
 * Differentiated Classroom
 * CUE card [[file:CUECardDIFINALDOE.pdf]]
 * Learning goals
 * Ongoing assessment and adjustment
 * Flexible grouping
 * Positive learning environment
 * Respectful task
 * differentiate content
 * differentiate process
 * differentiate product
 * differentiate tools
 * We don't differentiate by "ability"
 * Differentiate based on Readiness, Interest, Learning Profile (also not fixed)

__2. Some Common DI Strategies__

 * Student Choice Boards - http://daretodifferentiate.wikispaces.com/Choice+Boards

2:30 - 3:15 - Classroom "Management"
 * Harnessing Energy
 *  []
 * []
 * Repurpose energy in a productive way
 * "I have all this energy, what can I do with it?"


 * []
 * Teacher goes to Columbia U to get advice on her teaching strategies
 * specific things she did to harness energy
 * do more active tasks
 * bringing in games
 * tone of voice the teachers use
 * teacher's own energy
 * the way a teacher arranges the room - teacher can walk around and spread energy, or put student in rows to decrease energy
 * secret signal for certain student - less likely to invite a power struggle, teacher doesn't call attention to them
 * High energy
 * Before harnessing the energy, you have to focus the energy
 * example: pencil game tap
 * example: music (slow tempo, yoga music, etc.)
 * redirecting through activities
 * Think about energy manipulation
 * http://gonzagateach.wikispaces.com/Core+Classroom+Management
 * 10 classroom management skills that probably address 90% of the issues
 * they are all do-able, simple, not time intensive
 * 10% have to be addressed on a case-by-case basis usually with other people such as administrators, parents, guardians, etc.
 * Top 2 "management" skills:
 * Teaching well! (clearly describe, model, and post expectations)
 * Relationships - positive community
 * longer Prof taught, the less rules and classroom management skills
 * Ask the class what is going on and what are some possible solutions user:sguadarrama23

3:15 - 3:30 - Video reflections > Log in with Google (info was handed out in class) >
 * Upload video to youtube as an unlisted video
 * Annotate your video on videoant - https://ant.umn.edu/
 * Model annotation - https://ant.umn.edu/jxooicuote (log in using password given in class)
 * Housekeeping:**
 * **To wrap up the class:**
 * Be sure you've submitted Differentiation PET and second lesson plan
 * Annotated teaching video on Videoant (by Monday)
