Dear TPS Network Members,
We would like to welcome you to our discussion and place where we will share resources.
In this group, each week, members of the TPS Network from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Hunter College will provide a blog showcasing differentiated instruction with primary sources found at http://www.loc.gov.
We invite P-12 teachers from all subject areas to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and practical tips of teaching with primary sources as a vehicle to meet diverse learner strengths and needs.
Let's hear from you. Please reply to this message by telling us a little about your context and share challenges or questions that you hope we address in this group.
For fun, when you think of differentiated instruction what might you compare it to? Can you share a simile for differentiated instruction? For example, differentiated instruction is like an orchestra because individuals are playing to their interests and strengths, yet everyone is playing one song. Or Differentiated Instruction is like a garden because every student, like, plants, requires different amounts of water and sunlight to be nurtured.

This description of Differentiated Instruction was created through the TPS Northern Virginia Partnership in 2005! After 17 years, the examples continue to be useful in illustrating differentiated instruction based on Carol Tomlinson's work today! Many thanks to Patricia Carlson and all of the Northern Virginia teachers for their incredible work in Teaching with Primary Sources!
Share your examples of differentiating instruction with primary sources in our Differentiated Instruction with Primary Sources group.
