Part.1精细的差异化教学
Differentiating
课堂
Lessons
差异化教学有效的帮助学生达到课程目标，确保学生接受到的任务是适合自己水平，这样的方式可以有效帮助到不同程度的学生进步，并持续激发学生的学习动力。
Differentiating helps students to reach the curriculum objectives by ensuring they are given work within their developmental area, although some students may also need to be assessed at a lower level; they are still meeting curriculum objectives for their levels.
我们根据多个测试结果对学生进行分层，并且用形成性的评估在学期中对学生进行动态评估，如家庭作业、课堂作业及测试。学生在各个科目中的水平不尽相同，兴趣也不一样，因此对学生进行定制化、个性化的教育是极为必要的。
We divide levels first by test results, and we constantly re-assess students through formative means such as their class work, homework and also after assessments. As students are constantly developing they may need to move levels throughout the year. Students will often not be the same level across subjects, so it’s important to re-assess each subject and issue work according to their level in each subject. In order to differentiate successfully, it’s vital to know your students and their levels and interests.
差异化教学的方法多样。例如：四年级老师Ms. Rebecca在教“后缀”一课的课堂上，会先请全班学生思考并举例说明什么是后缀。水平较高的学生往往会先分享自己的答案，老师鼓励其他同学从中学习，并引导他们也提供出自己的例子。
小组活动也是差异化教学的方法之一，对不同水平或者相同水平的学生进行分组，小组一起合作回答问题。课后作业中，学生会被拿到适合他们水平的作业表。如果学生学有余力，老师会为他们提供拓展学习材料，为他们提供挑战，让他们保持学习的参与度和积极性。如果学生需要帮助，老师也会提供足够多的资源帮助他们赶上进度。
There are many ways that differentiation can be applied in the classroom. One way that Ms. Rebecca Colles often uses is to instruct the whole class in a topic, for example suffixes. Students are invited to give examples; lower students can learn from hearing examples from the higher students – this often results in the lower students then offering their own examples. Then some group work; students work together in groups (can be same or mixed ability) to answer some questions. Then, for the individual work students are given different level worksheets to complete. However, further extension work is also provided for students who require it. Homework is also differentiated into levels, also including more optional extension work for students who need it. Some students may also be given extra work to catch them up to their peers.

通过差异化教学，学生能够让自己在适当的压力下获得持续的进步，老师根据每位学生不同的需求，帮助他们获得学习的热情和信心。学生对自己的课程也更加投入和热情。
By differentiating, students are able to progress at their own rate, and differentiating allows us to meet their needs. Differentiating takes a lot of extra planning and preparation time, but it’s well worth the effort as students are more engaged and enthusiastic about their lessons.
Part.2让课堂变得更有趣
Making The Lessons More Engageing
传统教师单方面灌输知识的课堂已经无法满足学生们的学习需求，难以激起学生们的学习兴趣和创造力，因此，“如何打造有趣的课堂”成为了许多老师思考的问题。
The lessons that teachers unilaterally instil knowledge no longer meets students' needs and makes it difficult to stimulate their interest in learning and creativity, so "how to create an interesting classroom" has become a question that many teachers are thinking about.
Attention
注意力
什么可以吸引学生的注意力？对孩子来说大胆的、有吸引力的行为，更令人难忘，更能吸引他们参与到活动中。
What grabs students’ attention? Engagement is big and bold and captivating – but most of all it is memorable.
课堂上的小改变也会带来大效果，Ms. Lisa Canham老师发现大部分学生不喜欢被简单的灌输知识，因此她在课堂上会尽量避免使用简单的表格，简单直接的问题并不会让孩子感兴趣。她在课堂上会尽量让学生去探索，改变传输知识的方式，会让课堂更吸引人，让学生每天满怀期待地走进她的课堂。
I try to avoid using worksheets in the classroom because most students are not stimulated by them. Plain and simple, worksheets are not engaging. (To be clear, it’s not the content on the worksheets that’s the problem, but rather the monotonous delivery.) Changing up the delivery method makes the content engaging. And this is why I try to make my classroom / lessons magical, so students want to run through my door, every day, filled with anticipation.
她在课堂上以游戏来帮助学生更好学习。游戏设置要保证让所有的学生能够参与其中，即使有些孩子在第一轮无法回答出正确的答案，但也要吸引他们能参与进剩下的游戏环节。
除了课堂参与度之外，学生在课堂上也要能汲取知识。如果学生从课堂中没有学习到东西，参与度就失去意义。增强课堂参与度是为了学生更好地学习课程内容，让学生通过实践、更高层次的思维活动来运用所学到的知识和技能，并学以致用将更为重要。
She enjoys using games in her classroom to enhance the learning content. Games should involve all the students and they should never be put on the sidelines in the first round because they got the answer incorrect.
However, engagement has to also be paired with academic rigor. It is not engagement if the students are not learning something. It’s not about how fast the teacher goes through the curriculum but rather focusing on application by allowing students to use skills and concepts through hands-on, higher-level-thinking activities.
Part.3创造有温度的教室环境
Creating a Classroom Environment With Warmth
主题活动教室装扮
教室环境也是教学中极为重要一部分。
教室环境不仅仅是一个空间或装饰，Lisa通过课堂管理策略、人际关系和课堂文化来营造特定的学习环境。当学生沉浸在一个与他们联系紧密、能反映出他们的兴趣和自我、视觉上有吸引力的环境里，就能建立情感联系，进而促进学习，课堂参与就会自然而然地发生。
The classroom environment is a huge part of student engagement. But environment pertains to more than just the actual physical space and the classroom décor. Ms. Lisa Canham also creates a specific type of learning environment through classroom management strategies, relationships, and classroom culture. Engagement happens when she establishes an environment that is relevant to her students, reflects their interests and hers, promotes learning, and is both visually and emotionally appealing.
教室还可以变成一个“舞台”。Lisa会在特定的主题课中带上道具、背景、音效和其他需要的东西，将课堂变成一个完全不同的环境，如狂欢节的现场、医院或动物园。教室“变身”后，学生会自然积极地参与活动了。
Another way to foster engagement through the classroom environment is a classroom transformation. SETTING THE STAGE TO ENGAGE the students. This is where Ms. Lisa Canham bring in props, backdrops, sound effects, and whatever else she need to magically transport the students to a whole different environment—like a carnival, a hospital, or an animal safari.
教室布置必须为学术学习服务。当老师能将课程内容与教室主题匹配时，学生们会因为身处不同的空间感到兴奋，充满学习动力。对他们而已，这不仅仅是一节普通的课，他们会在这里成为电影明星、外科医生或其他任何职业与身份，自然而然地提高课堂专注度。
Again, the décor must support academic achievement. When the teacher can match rigorous content to her theme, the students get so excited about being in a different space that they’re energized from the moment they walk into the room. They’re attentive and focused because it’s not just another day of being a student at school—they step out of their skin and become a movie star or a surgeon or others.
“为你的学生提供不一般的经历，他们会以不一样的努力和态度来回馈你。”正如Dave Burgess所说，从各个角度精心为教学做好准备，学生就能从中感受到学习的快乐，收获学习动力。
“Provide an uncommon experience for your students and they will reward you with an uncommon effort and attitude”. As Dave Burgess said, by carefully preparing for teaching from all angles, students will feel the joy and motivation of learning from it.
