Using AI to Differentiate Lessons for ELLs: Live Demo & Expert Tips - AFT Share My Lesson
Grades
3 to 12This site includes advertising.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (342), differentiation (100)
In the Classroom
Have students read the same content at different AI-generated reading levels. After reading, mixed-ability groups can discuss the main ideas and compare how the information was presented. This discussion helps all learners access grade-level concepts while building confidence and comprehension. Have students use AI-generated study guides that include simplified explanations, summaries, and comprehension questions. Students can review the material independently, then collaborate with classmates to deepen their understanding of the topic. Provide AI-generated writing supports such as sentence starters, paragraph frames, and model responses. Students can use these scaffolds to complete essays, reflections, or content-area writing assignments, gradually removing supports as their skills grow.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

AI for Differentiation in the Classroom: A Guide - Structural Learning
Grades
3 to 12This site includes advertising.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (342), differentiation (100)
In the Classroom
After a lesson or reading assignment, have students work with the teacher to generate study guides that include vocabulary support, comprehension questions, summaries, and extension challenges. Students can choose the supports they need and reflect on which tools helped them learn most effectively. Set up learning stations that explore the same topic through different levels of support and challenge. One station may include guided questions and graphic organizers, another may focus on independent analysis, and a third may require students to apply concepts to a new situation or create an original product. Have students select a topic related to the current unit and develop a project that aligns with their learning needs and interests. AI-generated planning guides, research questions, and organizational tools help students work at an appropriate level while allowing for creativity and deeper exploration of the content. Learn more about how to use AI to differentiate instruction by watching the archive of OK2Ask: AI for Differentiation, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Grades
3 to 12This site includes advertising.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (342), differentiation (100)
In the Classroom
After watching the video, have students work with a teacher-created lesson or reading passage and identify how it could be adapted for different learners. Small groups can create modifications for struggling readers, on-level learners, and advanced students, then compare their ideas with AI-generated suggestions. Have students act as teachers and use a planning template to create a mini-lesson for a younger grade. They must include at least three versions of an activity: one with extra support, one at grade level, and one enrichment option for advanced learners. Have students explore a content topic using a differentiated choice board that offers activities at varying levels of complexity. Using Adobe Express for Education, reviewed here, options may include creating an infographic, recording a podcast, designing a slideshow, writing a persuasive argument, or developing a teaching video. Students can select tasks that match their interests and learning preferences while demonstrating mastery of the content.

Grades
3 to 8This site includes advertising.
tag(s): thinking routines (59), thinking skills (136)

Write several vague sentences on the board, such as "The thing was big" or "She did something nice." In small groups, have students rewrite each sentence in clearer, more precise language. Provide students with a short paragraph that contains vague words such as "stuff," "things," "a lot," or "very." Students can revise the paragraph by replacing these words with more specific vocabulary. Ask students a question related to a text or topic they are studying. First, have students think silently about their answer. Then have them explain their idea to a partner using complete sentences and clear reasoning. Partners can listen and ask clarifying questions if something is unclear.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
