Differentiation

Since I do not have a course of students to go by form the past, my school gradebook is locked , and I don't have online data to go on; I decided to borrow the Economics EOCT test results for Gwinnett County.

Here is my modified data:

1. To help Edward West, who dropped out of school; I would want to try and investigate why he left. Is there some alternative to his decision to becoming a drop out. What is Edward's goals in life? Has this class or has another class caused his situation? Is there something at home? Can we catch him up in a credit recovery and full online learning; or having him in a blended class, so he can be monitored and motivated?
2. Vinnie, Mea, River, and Berk are Tier 1. These students passed, but can use more support to gain higher scores. More teacher led review and lessons might need to be offered to these students. I would utilize the online quizzes and tests and break down the data to see their individual deficiencies. I will individualize instruction based on their deficiencies. I will offer more opportunities for improving their scores.
3. The students in Tier 2 can benefit from more individual opportunities, but may not need as strong of a teacher led focus as those in Tier 1. They can utilize the same online resources given the the students in Tier 1, depending on their deficiencies. 
4. The students in Tier 3 have the motivation and the understanding of the basic knowledge that these student might benefit from more in depth lessons. Individualized instruction in personal finance and high learning options can benefit these students for their future. They can direct themselves better than lower tiers, which allows more teacher focus on those tiers.

With online learning, I can take the limitations of a whole class instruction out of the equation. All students can benefit in the same classroom, whether virtual or blended. I will have the opportunity to increase help sessions, focus learning on individual support for each student. Each student can his or her own learning path that will help solve any deficiencies they might face.
