Differentiated Reflection

Throughout this course the idea or theory of differentiated instruction and universal design has made me aware of how each student can be taught at various levels in a diverse learning environment. The challange that I face is with the implementation of technology with these learning strategies and concepts. It is going to be difficult at my school to add technology because of the lack of technology and funding. Our school is the 3rd high school in the district. We are at the bottom of list when it comes to educational support and resources. We have the 1% of the students that these two schools do not want. So the implementation of technology will take some time and patience.

I like the idea of differentiated instruction because we do have a diverse culture and our students have many different needs. To make the curriculum fit to my students it takes time and these strategies can improve my teaching ability. This can not only make me a better teacher but also a better student of education. The more weapons I have in my arsenal the better I can attack and make quality life long learners and positve members of our community.
