Ten differentiation strategies for building literacy in the Australian Curriculum / Jill Spencer.
Originally published 2010 by National Middle School Association. "In Ten Differentiation Strategies for Building Literacy in the Australian Curriculum, Jill Spencer shares effective, proven strategies to engage students in reading and writing across the curriculum. With the Australian Curriculum in mind, she addresses the hundreds of decisions teachers must make in a day in response to the reading and writing needs of their students. These easy-to-use strategies will ratchet up the engagement level of students by causing them to interact with content in all of their classes at the high levels required by the curriculum. Jill’s decades of teaching are evident in her detailed modelling of the applications of the 10 strategies across the subject areas, and she provides humane, practical suggestions for incorporating practices driven by the Australian Curriculum. She models a thoughtful scaffolding of skills based on her knowledge of the development of young adolescents. Jill weaves ideas for digital learning into each section and provides ideas for supporting the creative endeavours of students." Includes bibliographical references.
