Good Day! Work here is based on a full day session with [|Linda Tilton]. My notes from the workshop are viewable via the tabs on the left.

Andy Yale's personal musings: Why is this site about Differentiated Instruction called CLAD? Read on....

Teachers have been asked for years to INTEGRATE. More recently, we have been asked to DIFFERENTIATE. Typing " integration and differentiation" into google yields: Suppose we want to find ò f(x)dx x0 ** Many different numerical methods exist to approximate such an integral. Here we use a 4-point Newton-Cotes formula. || **__ DIFFERENTIATION __** Some central difference formulas to find derivates: First derivative :** f(x-2h)-8f(x-h)+8f(x+h)-f(x+2h) f ’(x) = ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾ ** || Remember calculus? For many of us, I must differentiate- not all, it was a challenge. It seemed like something difficult that we needed to rise to. Differentiated instruction is not like that. It is plain 'ol good teaching. It is what good teachers have always done. Not only that, it is what all students deserve. But a term like DIFFERENTIATION seems abstract, remote, and then with use, banal. I am electing to call what we are exploring: =C ustomized= =L earning= =A nd= =D oing=
