Differentiated Instruction

By David S. Stromberg

We need to provide differentiated instruction in every classroom in the District, including at Stanley Middle School.

For the past two years, I have demonstrated my commitment to differentiated instruction by serving on the key committees that have been responsible for its adoption and implementation. We have had many District teachers make presentations to the District Advisory Committee (on which I have been the BVE Parent Representative) demonstrating their excellence in providing differentiated instruction in their classrooms. Many of these teachers have served as mentors to their fellow teachers in their grade level.

Our job is not done, and won't be done until every District teacher is providing every District student with an appropriate challenging and intellectually stimulating education. Differentiated instruction also needs to be implemented fully at Stanley Middle School. This will not be easy to accomplish, but our energy and resources need to be expended in achieving this important goal.
