"Under what seems like
an effortless lesson lays an intricate performance. Under each word,
movement, question, task, and response are thousands of prior
interactions, many professional conversations with expert colleagues,
and hours of learning. Each instructional move is composed of hundreds
of micro-decisions. Knowledge of students, content knowledge, pedagogy,
content pedagogy, knowledge of community, knowledge of culture, analysis
of situation, possible missteps and misunderstandings, reflection, and
an ever-growing bag of strategies...the toolkit of an expert teacher is
vast. But because of the skill of expert teachers, this knowledge is
hidden underneath the surface."

"It depends entirely on the impact: Nostalgia for the past is toxic when
it makes us feel contempt toward the present. And that toxicity works
itself into our classrooms in some pretty destructive ways."
by Larry Ferlazzo
In this video, teacher and author Larry Ferlazzo explains that
differentiation is not about long nights of planning and grading, but
about being flexible and making decisions in the moment based on what
your students need.
