CCSS & Differentiated Classrooms
What we have learned so far in this course is that students come to us with assorted characteristics, physical and cognitive disabilities, multicultural backgrounds, and diverse learning needs. We have also learned that the systems of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are grounded in differentiated instructional practices to form the basis of quality curriculum.
As noted in Week Two, your participation in your schools Professional Learning Community (PLC) as developing experts in implementing differentiated instruction will guide your PLC team to create a two- to three-page Word document-based prospective blog (not an actual blog at this time) that identifies differentiated assessment and teaching strategies. These strategies can be used to assess student mastery of the new Common Core State Standards while providing engaging and rigorous classroom instruction.
**For the purpose of this assignment, you will be using a Word document (two- to three-pages) to create a prospective blog that can be designed online at another time.**
Within your blog, you must include:
An overview and focus of the Common Core State Standards initiative
The purpose of the Common Core State Standards conception (what are the expectations of the CCSS)?
The academic impact the Common Core State Standards
A description of the Standards for Mathematics
A description of the Standards for English Language Arts
How differentiated instruction is an essential strategy for the CCSS?
Five or more differentiated strategies, tools, or activities thatll support teachers implementation of the CCSS for Mathematics
Five or more differentiated strategies, tools, or activities thatll support teachers implementation of the CCSS for English Language Arts
Analysis of how differentiation can be applied to teaching in the classroom
First Contact between the Anglo-American Settlers and Native Americans was to have profound repercussions for North America. Using the two readings (The Barbarous Years and the Furies) describe the culture of conflict that the Early Europeans brought to the Americas. How does the video Guns, Germs, and Steel fit into the equation? Describe the brutality and efficiency of conflict used by Powhatan in the Chesapeake Bay region. Does this dispel the notion of racial supremacy and a Eurocentric view of Empire?

You will choose one of the films that you posted in the Screenplay folder to use for the screenplay analysis assignment. You will be reading the screenplay and watching the film to compare and contrast the two mediums. Things to consider are narrative structure, use of time with story and plot, and how it enhances the story telling. In addition, consider space, use of narrator, restricted vs unrestricted view, and overall goal of the protagonist. Discuss how these changed and how they remained consistent from screenplay to screen. If there are differences, theorize on what production and storytelling elements may have influenced the change. Discuss how all of these elements support the overall theme.

Motivation and class management, and collaborative involvement with parents, colleagues and Community leaders are the two principals are currently are big for me. I use the motivation what’s in my classroom as well as with my children at home basically giving them a reward system whether they’re stickers, a treat out of the treasure box, praise, time on the tablet. Motivation and the praise I feel as though they’ve done something right and the feeling of being praised will make them want to try harder and do more in return motivates them and you can also use this method within a classroom setting because if you are able to challenge the kids more when there is a reward involved. Using the collaboration between colleagues, parents, and community helpers can benefit children in so many ways. Have you ever heard of the saying it takes a village to raise a child? I
Discussion Responses to Other Students
To create high quality responses to other students, you need to:
· Acknowledge your classmates work (restate their ideas or quote from your classmates posting)
· Add new knowledge through your experiences, understanding, or additional research (New knowledge should refer back to the topic presented in the prompt.)
When responding to other students, you are expected to write a substantial response (4-8 sentences) and ensure that it goes beyond good job, hello, and keep up the good work. Responses can be more than this minimum.
Quality responses:
· Acknowledge what the other student has said through restating or quoting pertinent sentences from the other students initial posting
· Include an analysis of what the other student has said as well as evidence for that analysis

Currently, I teach English in a cafe style learning environment for older adults who have little to much experience in speaking English. I think that I use Principle 3: Knowing how to adapt instruction for diversity. In my class, it is very easy to confuse them whether it is from us speaking too fast or the use unfamiliar terminology. Ive learned that some members of my class know a lot more than other members who are very shy because their peers appear to be farther ahead. Therefore, I usually come into my class with either topics I have found from ESL websites or allow them to pick the topic of discussion which usually involves them inquiring about American lifestyles.
I also use Principle 5: Motivation and class management. As i mentioned earlier, some of my class members are very shy and often pass on answering questions. Clearly, they are a mix of shy, intimidated, and nervous. I try to promote a warm environment that makes everyone comfortable. There are no wrong answers to any of the questions. If they struggle to answer, I along with other members of the class try to help them construct a response.
For the purpose of my class, I would probably need to work on Principle 7. I have never taught any classes so this is very new to me. My first day was so intimidating because I have no experience in front of a class of any kind. I was not really prepared and had no idea how to break the ice or get things moving. I think that working on my planning skills is very important because it is the meat and cheese of leading classes as an instructor. With no plans, goals don’t get met and there is no progression. I try my best to have questions ready for them when I arrive to teach for the day. My copartner goes beyond and puts up a word or idiom of the day and does his best to elaborate on the meaning. However, the class was very confused because the words were difficult to understand. With us having little to no experience in Korean, it was very difficult for him to get the message across.
Principle 8 would possibly need to be integrated into my class. However, this is a class that meets once a week. I think that formal assessments would freak them out however, I think that I could eventually implement something in there that allows me to see what exactly they are learning, how they are learning, what we could do to help further or challenge their learning, and so forth.

A. Motivation and class management, and collaborative involvement with parents, colleagues and Community leaders are the two principals are currently are big for me. I use the motivation what’s in my classroom as well as with my children at home basically giving them a reward system whether they’re stickers, a treat out of the treasure box, praise, time on the tablet. Motivation and the praise I feel as though they’ve done something right and the feeling of being praised will make them want to try harder and do more in return motivates them and you can also use this method within a classroom setting because if you are able to challenge the kids more when there is a reward involved. Using the collaboration between colleagues, parents, and community helpers can benefit children in so many ways. Have you ever heard of the saying it takes a village to raise a child? It is very true as individual parents it’s a lot harder that’s why we include teachers, counselors, other family members, Etc. There are certain things that the parents can teach their children that teachers can’t, vice versa same as with community helpers may understand something that a teacher doesn’t have much knowledge in.
B. Subject-matter knowledge is one thing that I need growth structures of discipline only way I can improve is talking with veteran teachers and stared in contact with parents and it will get easier and the knowledge will be more as my experience grows. Secondly I have to learn how to adapt instructions for diversity with children within different categories how to teach and less than that they all will be able to understand and one that is not so easy for the gifted; however that’s not too difficult for children who need special help.
