"Where Are You Now?" Differentiation Diagnostic

Six quick questions, about two minutes. No wrong answers, just an honest starting point.

1. When you hear "differentiate your instruction," your first reaction is…

Where would I even find the time?

I'd like to, I'm just not sure how.

I do some. I want it to run smoother.

2. Right now, how often do you adjust a lesson for different learners?

Rarely. I'm just trying to get through it.

Sometimes, mostly on the fly.

Often, with a plan.

3. Which sounds most like your planning time?

There isn't any. Coffee, clutter, and all.

Some time, but it goes to the basics.

Protected time I could use more wisely.

4. How well do you know what each student needs right now?

Honestly, not well yet.

I have a hunch for most.

I use evidence: exit tickets, notes, and data.

5. Which of these have you tried?

None of these yet.

Choice boards or small groups, once or twice.

Tiered tasks, Must-Do / May-Do, or regular choice.

6. What would help most this month?

One small thing I can do tomorrow.

A clear way to think about it.

Systems and templates to save time.
