Process

Differentiating learning processes means varying learning activities or strategies to provide students with appropriate methods to explore the concepts. This involves giving students alternative paths to manipulate and connect with the main ideas embedded within the concept at hand. Students may use graphic organizers, maps, diagrams or charts to display their comprehension of concepts covered. Others might prefer creating artwork or a weblog to show their learning. There are also opportunities to vary the complexity within these different forms of representation. Some other examples of differentiated learning processes include: allowing students different amounts of time to complete assignments, adaptation
s such as offering visuals for those that need them or providing hands-on manipulatives, adjusting questions asked in a group, and peer-teaching. Further, some students may benefit from learning centres where they are able to change up their mode of learning. Varying teaching strategies makes sure that students are offered opportunities to learn in ways that are compatible with their own learning preference, but also challenges them and expands their repertoire of alternative learning strategies.
