Differentiating Instruction

How does the teacher differentiate instruction? What do you see?

In reading, my cooperating teacher meets with students to assess their reading level.  Then, once their level is assessed, she meets with groups of students who are at the same level during Daily Five activities to teach them.  They read a book multiple times, discuss it, and move onto the next book.  From there, she periodically re-assesses their reading level.

My cooperating teacher also has different professionals around the building come take students at different times of the day to work with specific students for different reasons.

Lastly, my cooperating teacher is on many different committees and leads many differentiation of instruction classes with students before and after the school day.  Honestly, I do not know how she gets it all done each week.
