DIFFERENTIATION EXPLANATION

FYI- Differentiation is a process teachers use to maximize student learning by improving the match between a student’s unique characteristics and the curriculum. Since math is sequential, students are put in different groups to best suit their needs.
Offering a variety of math classes is one way District 97 differentiates instruction, process, and assessment.
Next 7 students are derived from the Math 7 class. Students periodically take pretests to determine mastery of concepts prior to instruction. Students are grouped and regrouped according to their performance on the pretest (90% or better). These students are assigned alternate, more challenging, homework and evaluations.

Weekly study sessions help meet the need of those students who demonstrate a need for concept reinforcement. All students are welcome to come throughout the school year. Students may use this as an opportunity for clarification and/or re-teaching of the concepts already presented during class. Study sessions are used as needed.

Academic Studies helps meet the needs of students who have not met the standards for the previous school year. This is a class designed to help boost student's skills in math and reading. Students are identified for placement into this class at the start of the year by the administration.
