EDU 673 Week 1 Brain Research Supports Differentiation
In a three- to five-page paper (not including title and reference pages):
a. Analyze how neuroscientific research findings and recent discoveries regarding how the brain learns support differentiation in the classroom.

EDU 673 Week 1 DQ 1 Key Principles of Effective Differentiation
Analyze the five key principles of effective differentiation and discuss which of the five will be the most difficult for you to embrace with a “fluid” or “growth mindset.” What are the obstacles you see that will inhibit implementing the principles in your current or future educational setting? Which of the five is the easiest to accept? Why?

EDU 673 Week 1 DQ 2 Educational Neuroscience
Educational neuroscience is an exciting new discipline that brings together research from psychology, neuroscience and pedagogy to help educators make the best curriculum, instructional and assessment choices for effective learning. Locate an article in the Ashford Online Library that investigates findings from cognitive and neuroscientific research. Provide a brief summary of the article and explain how the findings could be translated into what educators do in schools and classrooms. Do the findings support differentiated teaching and learning? Why or why not?

EDU 673 Week 2 DQ 1 Fluid and Fixed Mindsets
Souza and Tomlinson (2011) explain, "Mindsets are the assumptions, expectations, and beliefs that guide our behavior and our interaction with others"(p. 19). A teacher's mindset is of utmost importance in the differentiated classroom. Think about your least favorite teacher and consider what their mindset must have been. Share how you felt in the class and how the teacher's mindset affected your own well-being and academic success as a student. http://www.homeworktab.com/EDU-673-ASH/EDU-673-Week-2-DQ-1-Fluid-and-Fixed-Mindsets
EDU 673 Week 2 DQ 2 Effective Differentiated Curriculum
Visit the Discovery Education: Lesson Plan Library website and locate a lesson plan that represents the grade level and subject area you are teaching or are interested in teaching.
In your discussion, post a link to the lesson plan that you have selected. Next, answer the following:
- Is the lesson constructed so students will be consistently aware of what they should know, understand, and be able to do? Provide examples from the lesson to support your answer. If the lesson plan is not constructed in that manner, how will you change it to make students consistently aware of what they should know, understand and be able to do? Provide examples of the changes you would make.

EDU 673 Week 2 Welcome Activity
Imagine it is the first day of school and you are welcoming a whole new set of students to class. Create your own welcoming activity for the first day of school that demonstrates how you will incorporate differentiation through a growth mindset. You are not limited to any particular format, but you must address the following:
a. How you will provide a safe and secure classroom climate

EDU 673 Week 3 Assessment and Differentiation
For this assignment you will need a lesson plan or unit that includes an assessment. You may use one of your own, create a new one, or modify one that you find. Make sure the assessment contains all the elements of effective assessment and then explain or provide measures to show:
a. How it aligns to the essential knowledge, understanding, and skills of the targeted learning outcomes.
http: //www.homeworktab.com/EDU-673-ASH/EDU-673-Week-3-Assessment-and-Differentiation
EDU 673 Week 3 DQ 1 Effective Assessment
Provide an example from your own classroom or from your past educational experience of effective assessment. What elements made it effective? Did it lead to improved teaching and learning? Why or why not? What was its overall purpose?

EDU 673 Week 3 DQ 2 Summative Assessment
There are two types of summative assessments, those that assess rote-knowledge skills and those that assess higher-level executive functions. Using the information in your text and from your own educational experience, develop an argument that supports the use of both types of summative assessments. Explain and defend the appropriate use of each type of assessment.

EDU 673 Week 4 Differentiated Instruction for Student Readiness
For this assignment you will need a lesson plan or unit that includes measurable learning outcomes. You may continue to use the lesson plan from Week Three, or you can create a new one or modify one that you have found. Provide and explain differentiated teaching strategies that are appropriate for a variety of students at different levels of readiness. Your strategies must align to the learning outcomes. Make sure to include the following:
a. Differentiated access
b. Differentiated process

EDU 673 Week 4 DQ 1 Student Readiness
After reading Chapter Five of the course text, create a checklist of the eighteen guidelines for differentiating curriculum in response to student readiness as a separate document. You can group the guidelines in whatever way makes the most sense for you. You are creating the checklist to keep as a tool for use in your current or future classrooms. Once you have created the checklist, upload the document in the Doc Sharing tool (Please see the Course Materials section of the course, under Course Home in the left navigation, for a brief Doc Sharing video tutorial.).

EDU 673 Week 4 DQ 2 Student Interest
After watching the talks by Sir Ken Robinson (TED Talk – Ken Robinson Says Schools Kill Creativity, and TED Talk – Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the Learning Revolution!), answer the following questions:
o Does differentiation make the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher? Why or why not?
