Managing Behavior to Support Differentiated Instruction

Grades: K - 8

Implementing differentiated instruction requires managing multiple activities happening simultaneously in the classroom: the teacher instructs a small group as other students work collaboratively in study groups or independently. Managing the classroom and student behaviors while providing explicit instruction to a small group can be challenging.

Program Details

Teachers must teach students how to manage the freedom of collaborative learning, communicating respectfully, and cooperating with peers. This online workshop presents a proactive communication system called Two Choice Discipline (TCD) that clearly identifies acceptable responses, choices, and preset consequences. TCD helps adults and students communicate respectfully and apply reasonable decision-making and self-regulation.

Content for this online workshop is based on materials authored by Vicki Gibson, Ph.D., Managing Behavior to Support Differentiating Instruction (2010) and Parenting Responsible Children (2010), available at www.gha-pd.com.

Objectives:

Practice and develop active listening.
Learn to select appropriate choices and consequences to be taught and used as safe boundaries for participation and decision-making.
Develop ways to teach responsible, accountable decision-making and develop self-regulation.
Establish ways to clearly identify performance expectations for students when a teacher is working with another small group.
