In this task you will select and observe two videos of real-world teaching in which teachers are making efforts to adjust and differentiate instruction and meet student learning needs based upon formative assessment data and learning contexts. You will analyze the teachers’ decisions and evaluate the effectiveness of their efforts to differentiate instruction to meet learners’ needs.
In this task and others in this program, you will use the Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle (Gibbs, 1988) as a framework to respond to observations and experiences. Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle encourages you to think systematically about the phases of an experience or activity, first describing the experience, then addressing how it made you feel, next evaluating and analyzing it, then drawing a conclusion, and finally considering how this experience will apply to your future practice.
