individualized instruction:
There is no way a teacher EVER has time for this. Remember, small groups is okay. Flexibility is also the key. The teacher needs to provide variety and choice.
chaotic:
Everything needs to be done in order and with purpose. Don't have too many activities happening simultaneously that it is too hard to monitor and control.
“dumbing down” the curriculum:
Rather, work within the students ZPD to develop instruction. Not only should differentiation be occuring with struggling students, but also accelerated students.
I agree with all that you reviewed above, but I wasn't able to find the site you referenced. Will you send it to me in an email? Thanks! (3 pts.)
