ELEMENTS OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION 1 Week 1 - Assignment: Elements of Differentiated Instruction How is differentiation heuristic versus algorithmic? Heuristics and algorithms are different approaches to solving problems. The heuristics approach is derived from the Greek word discover or find. This means implementing a method of teaching that involves students in understanding and learning how to discover (Pathak, 2023). In other words, it is an educational guess that may serve as a guide for subsequent explorations. This approach focuses on exploring human experiences from an integrative perspective, which

ELEMENTS OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION 2 can rely on the activity principle or acquiring knowledge by doing. When the teacher differentiates multiple approaches through content, process, and product, the students have more chances to understand the assignment and can achieve the goal. This approach is beneficial to achieving my goal as it is low-cost. The author, Pathak (2023), suggests using heuristic differentiation to restructure classes into differentiated teaching, focusing on maintaining control over the learning process while giving students more responsibility. This cost-effective approach allows for quick decision-making based on students' responses. For a new teacher such as myself, this can be an excellent method to implement in the classroom, as it could assist me in grasping what I perceive to be practical assistance for altering my teaching practices. Differentiated instruction provides a deeper understanding of students' comprehension because of the multiple ways it may be used in my teaching philosophy, for example. Question-based differentiation will allow me to determine if my students comprehend the lesson, and if so, I can move forward with the next idea. In contrast, the algorithm differentiation differs in that it considers students' differences in understanding. Algorithm differentiation, or automatic differentiation, is known for deep learning or critical thinking (Gillis, 2023). This method is used for solving a problem or performing a computation. The algorithm provides an exact list of instructions that conduct specified actions through step-by-step computation (Gillis, 2023). This approach is implemented in mathematics, computer programming, and computer sciences. How might you align differentiated instruction to state content standards? To determine differentiated instruction, teachers must first refer to the three curricular elements: content, process, and product (Tomlinson, 2017). Teachers must identify what students learn, how they make sense of the ideas and information, and how they demonstrate what they

ELEMENTS OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION 3 have learned. Once the lesson's objective is set, the teacher can provide students with flexible options to meet the objective or learning outcome. To align differentiated instruction with state content standards, I must refer to the state content standards and align my objectives. The state standards are a manual that provides information to educators on what academic lessons students should be learning at various points in their educational grade. To effectively comply with the state standards, I must align them with my curriculum and lesson plan to ensure that I give my students the academic information they need. How are the tenets of your philosophy helpful in your growth as an educator toward differentiation? My teaching philosophy is to create student-centered learning wherein students learn through fun activities, active participation, cooperation, and peer collaboration in completing lessons. Not only will this enhance their academic skills, but it will also help them build their social understanding as well as prepare them for adulthood. As a special education teacher, I will approach differentiating instruction in many ways by understanding my students' needs, strengths, and weaknesses. To address their needs, I will utilize research-based instructions such as Read Naturally, the Seeing Stars Program, Cloud 9, and any new advanced research available. How do the tenets of that philosophy manifest themselves in your: Interactions with students? My teaching philosophy is to challenge my students daily with meaningful, engaging, and purposeful learning. As a special education teacher, I believe that all people have the ability to

ELEMENTS OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION 4 learn, regardless of their disabilities. To implement this philosophy, I will create a form of instruction that is designed to meet the needs of my special education students so that they can learn the same skills and information as their neurotypical peers. All students are unique and capable of learning, have specific needs, and should be taught in the least restrictive environment based on those needs. As a special education teacher, I am responsible, along with other teachers, for meeting those needs. Thinking about curriculum? As a special education teacher, I will develop and adapt the curriculum that will take the general education curriculum and change it to suit my students. This means that the curriculum will be specially designed to meet the unique needs of the student with the disability, and it will address classroom instruction, home, and any other party involved in the student's life. Depending on the students' needs, the lesson plan may address behavioral, physical, and mental capacities. The needs may be addressed in various ways depending on the student's needs, such as visuals, graphic organizers, sentence starters, manipulatives, games, and one-on-one instructions. Instructional routines? Tomlinson and Moon (2013) assert that instruction is more influential in student learning than the curriculum, emphasizing that pedagogy is the teaching method rather than the content; therefore, instruction is the core of differentiation, aiming to provide optimal learning experiences for each student. Following this guide, I will carefully plan my classes based on clear objectives. I have passion and compassion for this position and will work hard to provide the best education in my research through educating my life, mastering ideas, and succeeding in my goal. My instructional routine may consist of tasks that are enacted in the classroom. These

ELEMENTS OF DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION 5 instructional routines structure the relationship between myself and the students around the content in ways that consistently maintain high expectations of my students' learning while adapting to the contingencies of particular instructional interactions.
