One united differentiated classroom.

With all the things that we have been learning,

it may become hard to visualize how the classroom will run properly.

All this differentiation.

Different levels. groups. readings. assignments. assessments.

A lot of individualized planning for individual students or groups,

while trying to incorporate it all into one classroom can be hard.

However, I found a quote that I just adore and helps put it into perspective.

Yes, there is going to be a lot of different things going on.

However, students are going to be understanding the same standards and
reaching goals that are similar just varied to different levels.

Yet, most importantly; this is still ONE classroom!

All these different students form a community bond.

It should never begin to feel separated because of differentiated instruction.

The goal of differentiation is to help all students succeed,

which in turn should strengthen the classroom bond.

You should be able to walk into a classroom that's differentiated and have no idea.

You don't see separations between students because of the differentiation.

You see a united class, because all the students are understanding the content.

I feel that this is so important to remember.

Don't let differentiation break your classroom into sections,

because the real purpose is to bring it all together perfectly.
