Differentiated instruction and assessment: An indicative lesson plan for the subject of Language in Primary School
Abstract
The contemporary class includes students with different academic needs, interests and preferences, who teachers are called upon to bring together in order to complete the learning process. Differentiated instructionis, perhaps, the most appropriate teaching approach to addressing this phenomenon. Differentiated assessment, a key element of differentiated instruction, is a continuous process during which the teacher collects data from multiple sources in order to identify the needs and abilities of his/her pupils. In this paper, a differentiated lesson plan for the subject of Language of grade three of Primary School is presented in detail. In addition, relevant learning activities are proposed, as well as activities related to pre-assessment, formative and summative assessment. Properly-implemented assessment in all its forms plays a decisive role in the differentiation of instruction regarding pupils' differences in learning readiness, learning profile, interests, and inclinations. The above plan requires four teaching hours.
