Differentiation is still such an unknown practice to so many educators.Īgain, the love you have for teaching is so clear and contagious! I do hope that you do not become discouraged by any of the negative feedback and continue listening to your heart. We don't have to dumb down the instruction to meet their needs-this seems to be the huge misconception. It is so easy to jump on the wagon of current terminology in education and forget about truly knowing your students and trusting your gut and knowledge to meet their needs, which are not always academic. So many teachers expect support staff to do all the teaching to the students with the most needs, but seem to forget whose roster they are on. I respect you for taking ownership of the learning of all of your students, and going that extra mile to meet the learning needs of each one of them.
As a special education teacher who pushes in her services, I hope you never lose your 'spark' and continue doing what YOU think is best for ALL your students.
I so admire and respect your love and dedication for your students.
