Documentation Ideas for Standard 4

Differentiates the instructional content, process, product, and learning environment to meet individual developmental needs
  • Section Summary Report of your grade book to show differentiated content and product results indicating that the tests could result in a differentiated in product.
  • Lesson plan showing differentiation of content, process, product, and/or environment.
  • Pictures showing differentiated learning environment.

Provides remediation, enrichment, and acceleration to further student understanding of material
  • Materials of All State, District, and local honor requirements for students to participate
  • Lesson plan specifically showing remediation, acceleration, and enrichment for students 
  • Example of documents used to provide students’ challenges, support learning, address learning differences, differentiation, and provide remediation and acceleration to further students’ understanding of material.
  • Pictures of students participating in extending/enrichment activities.

Uses flexible grouping strategies to encourage appropriate peer interaction and to accommodate learning needs/goals
  • Section Summary Report of your grade book to show where students can be grouped, assist each other, and graded on summative assessment
  • Lesson plans indicating how, why, and the data used to determine flexible grouping.  (Using data to determine grouping is important!)

Uses diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment data to inform instructional modifications for individual students
  • Section Summary Report of your grade book to show how formative and summative assessment data were used to guide changes to instructional strategies, unit plans, next content, or next assessment.
  • (Formative assessments are the teacher's greatest aid in guiding current/in-process and future instruction.  There is an enormous section in my doctoral study regarding this; not because I wanted to write so much on it, but rather because that is what researchers/literature shows.)
  • Highlight diagnostic (standardized test results), formative (homework or observational notes), and/or summative data from your grade book or roll and make a notation on how, when, and why that was used to make modifications for individual and groups of students.

Demonstrates high learning expectations for all students commensurate with their developmental levels
  • Examples of Signs and Vocabulary that lists the terms and symbols for concepts that are expected for students to learn and demonstrate.
