Pilkerriffic!Musings, ideas, and juicy links from a DEN STAR and MD LC member…

These are my links for May 25th:

• How to Plan For Differentiate Instruction - more ideas for different kinds of plans- we need some variety in the lab!
• Dr. Kathie Nunley’s Layered Curriculum Web Site for Educators - I’m beginning to think about planning for next year, and I’m really getting into the idea of differentiated instruction. There are so many benefits- students are learning the same thing, but in a way that they choose and is meaningful to them. Breaking down the assignments into manageable chunks will also (I hope) make grading more meaningful.
