Differentiated Learning
Project-Based, Integrated Units for Individualized Learning is Child-Centered
The most important component of effective planning is getting to know my students. What are my students' strengths? What are their needs? How do they learn best? How can I make my lessons connect to real-life examples? These are some of the questions that lead to project-based learning, integrating units, and individualized learning.
Project-based learning facilitates diverse learners. My time in the classroom has taught me that hands-on activities are a viable, productive, and enjoyable way for students to apply their knowledge and have fun at the same time. Inspired by Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theories and Bloom's Taxonomy, integrated units combine several subject areas and leads to higher levels of questioning and inquiry.
One thing that I have learned is that all lessons can be modified to meet the learning needs of the individual students. It is important to collaborate with colleagues and special support workers and incorporate suggestions into your planning.
