Differentiation in Classroom Instruction

Analysis of the Challenge

A teacher making educational differentiation may allow the majority of its students to learn and succeed. Indeed, it has long been regarded that academic achievement is a matter of talent and ability. It was believed that some students born talented, others not. A teacher can bring the vast majority of its students towards success if they differentiate their teaching formulas and learning environment to reflect their prerequisites and characteristics with regard to a learning subject. It is, therefore, differentiated instruction, which is essential to enable all students to learn and develop optimally.

There were few problems that have to be noticed in order to make effective schooling. The junior classes were reluctant to follow the instructions, and mainly the issue of discipline was highly disturbing the studies. The instructions were given to adopt strict attitude towards the children. The reason for, this attitude is to have a control on them from the first day, in orders to make them follow the discipline of the elementary school. If the uncompromising attitude will not be there towards the students, then they will take it as granted and will not follow the discipline of the elementary school (Chappuis, 2002).

However, for the middle level classes, teachers do not need to be that strict because students also learn to develop an appropriate attitude towards their studies. They take their studies very seriously also increase their interest as the classes they progress. At this stage, teachers then try to have a different approach towards the students as compare to the junior level classes. The biggest challenge for the teacher is to bring a change in their strategy from first to sixth class. The leadership strategy that the teacher will adopt in the middle level classes is the collaboration leadership. The collaboration leadership will enable teachers to create a participative environment for the students. In this way, a competitive environment will be there in the classroom that will benefit the students at the end. Consider the diagnosis as a road map for planning and leadership. In this participative environment, diagnosis test should be done in order to realize professionally how the students are performing in the class. Evaluating the student, whether through an oral statement, homework assignment or a list of personal interests is a form of diagnosis.

When teachers in this environment begin to realize the wide diagnostic range of sources present in the classroom, they will see many ways are there to learn about the students. In the school, the diagnosis is often seen as something that happens at the end of a drive to know who "captured" and who is not. In fact, it will be done at the beginning of a unit or during the class. At these points, the diagnosis will invite the elementary school to adjust the teaching on the basis of information obtained. The discussion on these diagnoses will prove to be quite useful for these ...
