Evaluate 3.1.1 Differentiation Quest



Unfortunately I do not have a specific field of study so I chose to use an example of student date retrieved from a Google Scholar search. Using this data charge a method could be used to group students based on their abilities by putting students who scored similarly in groups together.  Alternatively the high low method could be used to pair students that have opposing strengths  and weaknesses in order to record the outcome. The intent is not to label students but to see how they cam emerge from the skills that they have from the content they are given.

The strategy used to examine student performance would be to look at the data collectively and then individually. Especially in the case of distance education all options should be given to students equally and to differentiate the online instruction students who are showing limitations or those classified as exceptional learners should be given alternatives to the course instruction. Equally students who are thriving should also be given alternatives that push them further and strengthen their skill sets.

On an individual level data could be referenced to identify the needs of each student by making sure the content is diverse and looking at the scoring for that student only. Students that perform well or poorly performance habits can be identified from the start a mid point and at the end to monitor progress and response to the assignments and supplemental material that is given to aid each learners experience. The ability to examine the weaknesses on an individual level can help the development of the student before the completion of the course.
