EDU673 Week 1 Discussion 

Dq1

Key Principles of Effective Differentiation. Analyze the five key principles of

effective differentiation and discuss which of the five will be the most difficult for you to embrace with a “fluid” 11 or “growth mindset.” What are the obstacles you see that will inhibit implementing the principles in your current or future educational setting? Which of the five is the easiest to accept? Why?

Guided Response: Review at least two of your classmates’ postings and suggest ways that may help them change their fixed mindset about the principle that is difficult for them to embrace. Share examples from your own educational experience that address any of the five principles. 

Dq2

Educational Neuroscience. Educational neuroscience is an exciting new discipline that brings together research from psychology, neuroscience and pedagogy to help educators make the best curriculum, instructional and assessment choices for effective learning. Locate an article in the Ashford Online Library that investigates findings from cognitive and neuroscientific research. Provide a brief summary of the article and explain how the findings could be translated into what educators do in schools and classrooms. Do the findings support differentiated teaching and learning? Why or why not?

Guided Response: Review at least two of your classmates’ postings and analyze the connections they have made between the research findings and what educators do in schools and classrooms. Do you agree or disagree with their suppositions? Why or why not? Relate the findings to your own.
