The information gathered from the profiler provides the teachers with the knowledge to use the Differentiation Engine, a lesson-planning tool that differentiates over 25,000 Enrichment Activities — automatically. The result is a highly engaging learning environment that empowers students to achieve more in the classroom, and enables schools to attain better academic results.
Teachers are able to group profiled students by their shared strengths and interests and to compile custom reports on those groups. As a result, students help other students to learn more and take on new challenges.
So be on the look out for a printout of your child's profile. You may find it very interesting to see what is motivating for your child, what his/her interests are, and what is their preferred learning style. Renzulli Learning has been made available to the school through our SchoolLands Trust funds. To find Renzulli on the web, go to http://www.renzullilearning.com/default.aspx
Jason,
ReplyDeleteThe Renzulli Learning Profiler is a new concept that I am not familiar with, however it is something that definitely has sparked my interest. Currently at my high school we are placing a lot of emphasis on differentiation, so I'm excited to take the information from your blog back to our team. Knowing a child's interest, as well as what motivates their learning can be a powerful tool for not only teachers, but parents as well that often struggle with their student. It appears the program is quite simple to use and yields astounding results within the classroom if utilized appropriately. Thanks for all of the helpful information!
