"What Kind of a Chef Are You? How Are You in the Kitchen?"
Marisa Kaplan, in her article about Special Education students and differentiation, begins by posing this question, and thinking about how her friends would answer. She figured that some could follow the directions to make mac and cheese, others could probably make eggs and simple recipes, while some would want to make stuff from scratch. She goes on to say "I would never ask my "macaroni friends" to make their own sauce, nor would I toss a box of macaroni to my top tier friends, when I know they could be creating a divine meal from scratch! Let's apply this idea to the classroom...
- In education, one size does not fit all.
- All students deserve and are entitled to appropriate instruction.
- We can accommodate in small, simple ways that will support growth in all of our students."
