We are back with another mini episode in our Deconstructing Differentiation series to talk about executive functioning. With more and more students experiencing types of executive dysfunction, this is worth some consideration and how we can provide support and scaffolds in our classrooms and interactions with students to help them develop these essential skills for learning and life!

You have likely heard of the classic five senses, but did you know that there are actually eight?! In this mini-episode of our Deconstructing Differentiation series, we describe the 3 lesser known senses and consider how sensory processing differences impact what happens in your classroom. Recent data shows that one in six children experience sensory processing difficulties, which makes this a really important consideration for teachers! So grab a cuppa and join us for a chat about how we might be able to support the wide variety of sensory differences in our learning spaces.

49. Deconstructing Differentiation
We are back from a short hiatus and excited to jump in to this discussion with you about differentiation! In this opening episode of our Deconstructing Differentiation series, we are unpacking a practical differentiation framework known as the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). We explore the three tiers included in this framework and consider how a strong Tier 1 foundation works to support every learner in your classroom right from the start. Instead of feeling the need to create 17 different variations of every activity and having an extension task at the ready to be doing differentiation 'well,' we chat about how viewing your differentiation practice through a tiered lens makes supporting every student far more sustainable and intentional (and HINT: You are probably already doing this more than you realise!).
