I was away from school today because I was attending a workshop on Differentiated Instruction. Much of these strategies are things good teachers do anyway. Still, I found the speaker, Karen Hume, very interesting and upbeat. She was very knowledgeable. (Of course, she is a former teacher-librarian.)
What I walked away from the day with was the desire to try out some of these strategies. The overall message was a positive one. We should want to try these things because we want all of our students to be as successful as possible. Knowing that students and all of us really, learn in different ways, it would be irresponsible of me, as a professional, to not try everything I can to help my students succeed.
So look out, students. Some new strategies are going to be making an appearance in our English class.
