Middle school teachers realized students were struggling on assessments and that the curriculum was not addressing needed skills. They developed a three step process called "I do, We do, You do" to differentiate instruction. In "I do", the teacher demonstrates a skill. In "We do", the teacher and students practice the skill together. In "You do", students work independently with teacher support. Test scores increased from 20% to 30% growth after implementing this process, showing its effectiveness in improving student achievement through differentiated instruction tailored to individual needs.

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
