I do, We do, You do

Differentiation. Journal Of Staff Development, 31(2), 44-47.

Method and Results of the Study:


Through different data analysis, middle school teachers learned that
their students were struggling on state assessments. They realize that
the curriculum being taught did not help address particular skills that
needed to be learned. As a result, language arts and literacy teachers
adjusted their curriculum to help create targets for helping students
with different abilities. They created a three step process called, I do,
we do, you do.
I do is when the teacher demonstrates what the students will be
doing and learning. This time is for instruction and it allows the
students to see the teacher model how to do something correctly.
We do is the teacher and the students doing what was just modeled
and doing it together. It is a good follow up strategy on what has
recently taught and helps student to retain what they are learning.
You do is allowing the student to do it on his or her own. This helps
students to enter a new stage of independence. Teachers should help
sustain these students when they enter this stage. They encourage
and support them. It helps learners maintain success. Results of these
students were incredible. There was a growth in students
achievement. Students tests scores jumped from 20% to students
increasing by 30%.

Implications of the Results:


Differentiation learning in the classroom should be based on students
needs and talents. It should be motivating and provide interest for the
students. It should also help them learn new skills and improve the
skills that posses. It should also be there to help with cognitive needs.
Differentiating learning should be a way to shape the learning
experience for all students. The I do, we do, and you do model is so
helpful in allowing all students to participate and have an opportunity
to succeed. There is a quote from the article that I really like. It says,
Differentiation does not dilute content, add to content, or change
content. Rather, it presents content in differing ways with necessary
adjustments to pave each learners way to successful learning.
Shape the way I teach:
This was a good article for me to read because lately I have done a lot
of teaching and talking in my practicum classes. However, I have not
given my students more of an opportunity to do things with me and
then by themselves. Often I will explain something but not show how to
do it. Then I will give the students an assignment to do it. I want to do
better as implementing the I do and we do steps into my teaching
because I feel like the students will learn and remember more of what
they are being taught.
I do, We do, You do
