Authentic Task #2: CREATING MINDFULNESS CLASSROOM ROUTINES TO SUPPORT DIFFERENTIATION AND RESPONSIVENESS
Appraise the students you serve and the ways you have to differentiate and must be responsive to meet their needs. Assess and describe your students’ needs, ways you currently differentiate and are responsive to their needs, as well as ways you could use support differentiating and/ or being responsive. Include how underlying and institutional beliefs, norms, practices, and assumptions limit or support you in differentiating and being responsive to students’ needs. Develop a practical, effective, and sustainable way to use mindfulness activities to support you in your areas of growth. For this assignment, complete the following:
Identifying needs:
-
Appraise the ways your students need differentiation. Do they need you to differentiate content, process, or product?
-
Analyze the ways you must be flexible and responsive to support your students. Determine what strategies you currently use to be responsive and support students. For example, do your students need support transitioning from activities? How do you support them?
-
Assess in what ways are you successful and in what ways you struggle in differentiating and being responsive? Include how underlying and institutional beliefs, norms, practices, and assumptions limit or support you in differentiating and being responsive to students’ needs. Which of these areas feels the most urgent to develop in your classroom and why?
Selecting a practice:
-
Review the sample practices from module 4. Which practice(s) can support you and your students in developing one of the key skills in part one?
-
Identify one or more strategies you think most tangibly supports the areas you wish to develop.
-
