Dear Teachers: Remember differentiated Instruction & inquiry need to be evident in the classroom! You might be interested in going through some of the tiered lessons this site offers. It shows examples of tiering by interest, readiness and learning styles per grade. Indiana Department of Education Gifted and Talented Unit’s Tiered Lesson Project ideanet.doe.state.in.us/exceptional/gt/tiered_curriculum/welcome.html I am sure it will give you new ideas to include in your next lesson planning! Patricia

I hope you find these questions & reminders useful! Patricia

Dear teachers,

I found an excellent resource for teachers and for students! You will find in this site all kind of maps, texts, photographs, films and information regarding cultural heritage of all the countries in the world. This is a project promoted by the UNESCO and other 32 institutions. IT´S AMAZING!! //Estimados profesores: //

//¡Espero les sea de mucha utilidad! //

//Background: //

//The basic idea was to create an Internet-based, easily-accessible collection of the world's cultural riches that would tell the stories and highlight the achievements of all countries and cultures, thereby promoting cross-cultural awareness and understanding. UNESCO welcomed the idea as a contribution toward fulfilling UNESCO's strategic objectives, which include promoting knowledge societies, building capacity in developing countries, and promoting cultural diversity on the Web. // // The World Digital Library (WDL) makes available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual format, significant primary materials from countries and cultures around the world.// //The principal objectives of the WDL are to: // · //<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO;">Promote international and intercultural understanding; // <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO; msoansilanguage: EN-US; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 9.5pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msofareastlanguage: ES-CO; msolist: Ignore;">· //<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO;">Expand the volume and variety of cultural content on the Internet; // <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO; msoansilanguage: EN-US; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 9.5pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msofareastlanguage: ES-CO; msolist: Ignore;">· //<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO;">Provide resources for educators, scholars, and general audiences; // <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO; msoansilanguage: EN-US; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 9.5pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msofareastlanguage: ES-CO; msolist: Ignore;">· //<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO;">Build capacity in partner institutions to narrow the digital divide within and between countries //

Dear Teachers, Due to the lack of time to have staff meetings, I hope this option helps to refresh important facts about differentiation, learning styles & multiple intelligence. This information is very important and we expect all teachers to read it!

Dear Teachers,
