Original Prompt

Hi I am an instructional coach and I need to present to my staff. I want an outline for lesson planning for differentiation. I want it to look the same but one for math iReady and one for ELA

This resource is designed for teachers to effectively create differentiated lesson plans using iReady data and assessment tools, catering to diverse student needs in both math and English Language Arts (ELA) instruction. It outlines the three pillars of differentiation: Content, Process, and Product, providing concrete examples for each. The document emphasizes the importance of data-driven instruction, using iReady diagnostic results to identify instructional gaps and form flexible small groups. Practical strategies such as flexible grouping, choice boards, and scaffolded problem sets are highlighted, along with engagement techniques like i-Ready Learning Games. The document includes a planning template for tiered math lessons and writing differentiation strategies that accommodate various learning levels. Teachers are encouraged to reflect on their practices, anticipate challenges, and devise actionable differentiation plans.
