Differentiated Products Considerations
Review ARD, LPAC, GT, and 504 information for accommodations requiring student needs for differentiated products
Plan differentiated products in advance
Use tiered assessments/alternate forms of assessment
Rubrics should match and extend students’ varied skill level
Provide a variety of assessment products that match the learning outcomes
Products should build on prior knowledge and skills in a continuum or on individual strengths
- Products should be varied according to student learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.)
