This was a profoud video. I am in my 34th year of teaching and supporting other teachers and I am amazed at the power of Carol Ann Tomlinson and the inspiration she has been to so many teachers. Thank you
At the end of the conversation Carol mentions a teacher in Arkansas who hands out mirrors to her students at the last day of their school year and tells them that if they ever run into problems they kshould look in the mirror and tell themselves that they can fix this. I really liked this idea. Anyone who knows who she is or where she works?
Brilliant! Ann always makes teaching a delight! I`ve been following her Talks about Differentiation for a while now. Very happy to see her making reference to Neuroscience as a new venue to better understand our role in students` lives.
Really interesting conversation! I'm currently in school to become a life science teacher and have found this channel really interesting and the host is wonderful 👏. Would love more on this topic! I'm also really intrigued by the idea of narrative education especially in STEM.
Now I got a better understanding of differentiation starting from personality of the students, their social background, their environment they come from, the state of their classrooms, etc. In reality, all these will surely impact on the way learn. Hence the rationale behind differentiation. Considering all these, wouldn't it be great to ponder over ways of differentiating when it comes to sitting for placement examen for the sake of equity?
Absolutely, I think the practice of sitting for exams is one of the major question marks for education of the future- What purpose does it really serve it preparing students for life beyond school? How else might we measure success?
Hi Toddle, At minute 53:12 Carol says "Now call that um good until I started to say it I knew the term um I'll come back to it in a minute" - I have been through the transcript and watched the PodCast a few times but unfortunately was unable to identify the `term` she was referring about `brain researchers`. It may have been mentionned implicitly but I could not pick it up. Thank you helping out if you can. Kind Regards, Erwin

We are glad you liked it! More on differentiation and narrative education in STEM coming soon!

Hey Erwin! Sorry for the delayed response. She never came back to it, but I think the term she is referring to is neuroplasticity.
Every teacher must know about this, I will share it 😳❤😍😍
How is this different from UDL?
