    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.

    I am a student about to begin my student teaching soon and would love any tips or handouts in differentiated instruction.  Particularly thinking about all of the students who struggle to set still, and how to meet their needs.

    Examples of Differentiating Instruction with Primary Sources

    In this discussion we will share lessons and examples of differentiated instruction with primary sources. 

    We thought you might enjoy a handout describing differentiated instruction with primary sources based on Carol Tomlinson's work from the TPS Northern Virginia Partnership.

    Add a comment with your questions and challenges so that we can provide resources to support your teaching.
