I wish my daughters had more teachers that did.<br /><br />Differentiation is the methodology 'used' in our district. It's a very good district, top 10 in the state. It takes pride in hiring the best teachers. In 11 kid-years of schooling, we've had two teachers that differentiated effectively. Others have told us that differentiation is too hard, they have too many levels of student in the classroom, that they can't provide differentiation for only one gifted student, that the district requires them to focus on struggling students first, that they aren't allowed to teach above grade level, that it isn't fair to the teacher to have to know above grade level material, that our kids are already ahead so they don't set growth goals for them, that we should be happy that our kids are getting As, that they can't do it because other parents would be jealous, that it would be harmful for our kids socially and emotionally if their schoolwork separated them from the other students, that the district should have its study on differentiating for gifted learners done in a couple years and we need to wait, that they don't have the right books in the classroom, that there is no money in the budget for this, that it isn't part of their job, that we don't realize differentiation IS happening, that the kids even out in third grade so lack of differentiation doesn't matter, that we are elitist snobs for demanding more, and several other excuses. (Some above were from district administration, principals, and learning consultants, not just teachers.)<br /><br />Maybe the theory of differentiation isn't a farce, but the way it has been applied, particularly for high ability students, is. I'm always glad when I encounter a teacher that can and does differentiate. Sadly, those encounters are far too rare.Joshua Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001141412407712178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208025587231659933.post-46365670808455573332014-07-11T02:16:25.219-05:002014-07-11T02:16:25.219-05:00Aren't small towns amazing?

She has you as her mother to guide her for the next five years and if she wants to go to overnight camp or on a trip, you'll figure out how to make it work. She'll be prepared for her own adulthood because she has parents who are teaching her how to take care of her herself and who will be there for her if/when she needs them. It's a scary thing, especially when they go off to college and you can't do things for them, but it's also amazing how much they can do and to remember how much you did at their age. She's going to be a very fine woman. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208025587231659933.post-35120824885660702102013-06-09T10:19:10.111-05:002013-06-09T10:19:10.111-05:00You look amazing!!
