Q: Yes! I agree differentiating curriculum is my biggest challenge. I have only taught for 2 years so any words of wisdom or activities would be greatly appreciated.
A: I teach 3rd grade at a "low performing school." Currently, I use various independent research projects for the advanced students and use cooperative hetergenous groups for the students that are struggling within a certain area. A majority of my students are English Language Learners, so incorporating art into all subjects has proven to be a successful way to differentiate the material/information.
My sister (the just-graduated math major) was reading over my shoulder and had a completely different idea of "differentiate" in mind ;).
