In this episode, Patti from Madly Learning helps you take the overwhelm out of differentiation. You’ll learn how to design one strong core lesson that meets diverse student needs — without doubling your workload. Patti shares real classroom examples, practical tips, and mindset shifts that make differentiation both manageable and meaningful.

Tuck these in your teacher pocket:

• Differentiation is not about 30 separate lessons — it’s one lesson with multiple access points.
• Focus on flexibility, not perfection.
• Use assessment (formal and informal) to guide your adjustments.
• Scaffold for support and extend for enrichment — all anchored in the same big idea.

Start small with one new strategy and build confidence over time!

In this episode, PattI dives into the “efficiency mindset” — a powerful approach to simplify split-grade teaching. Instead of planning two separate lessons, learn how to teach one lesson with differentiated outputs that meet both grades’ expectations.

Key Takeaways:

• The mindset shift: one lesson, different outputs
• How to find overlapping skills in your curriculum
• Examples across math, language, science, and social studies
• Why this approach saves time and strengthens learning
• How unified lessons build a stronger classroom community
  
  

Tuck these in your teacher pocket:
Compare curriculum expectations for both grades, highlight shared skills (verbs like analyze, describe, explain), and design one shared teaching point with two scaled outputs.

Welcome to today's episode, where we will explore the concept of differentiation in the classroom. Have you ever been asked if you are differentiating for your students and wondered what it actually means?

Well, in this episode, we will discuss the four different ways you can differentiate your student groupings each day and how they can benefit your students' learning.

4 Ways to Differentiate in The Classroom

1. Differentiating the content: refers to the "what" of what is being taught. It involves using different teaching strategies and tailoring the lesson to individual students. This can be done through small group learning opportunities like guided math or reading sessions.
2. Differentiating the process: refers to the "how" of learning. It involves teaching students different ways to learn materials, such as through discussions or hands-on experiences. This can be done through modeling, manipulatives, and showing multiple strategies.
3. Differentiating the product: refers to what students do to show their learning, often in an assessment. Rather than focusing on task completion, it focuses on the skills and knowledge being demonstrated. This can be done through a choice board of assessments or rubrics based on skills.
4. Differentiating the environment: involves changing the environment in which students are learning. This can be done through flexible seating, recognizing distractions, and providing different conditions that are helpful for all students.

Overall, differentiation allows teachers to tailor instruction to meet individual students' needs and create a more engaging and effective learning environment.

So, tune in to this podcast episode to learn about the different types of differentiation and how they can be implemented in your classroom.

Are you struggling to include inquiry-based learning in your classroom? Understanding how to implement it can be challenging, especially for teachers with a range of abilities in their classrooms.

Inquiry is not just an open-ended free-for-all, but rather it is about empowering students to ask questions and guiding them through the process of discovering answers.

In this episode, we discuss the following:
· The four types of inquiry-based learning
 · How they're different
 · How they're the same
 · How there is a type of inquiry that all students can participate in

As teachers, we may have focused on getting through the curriculum during the pandemic, but now is the time to address the gap in our student's ability to use critical thinking skills to learn.

4 Types of Inquiry-Based Learning
1. Structured Inquiry - This form of inquiry-based learning has a lot of teacher support. It follows predetermined steps that allow students to explore and discover things they are learning in a very structured, linear way.
2. Guided Inquiry - This form of inquiry-based learning has a high level of teacher support and scaffolds students through each step of the inquiry process while allowing some students to follow different paths.
3. Problem-Based Inquiry - In this form of inquiry-based learning, students start with a problem and try to come up with solutions to solve that problem. The teacher provides strategies, tools, and parameters, but students are free to explore and experiment with different solutions and draw conclusions based on their results.
4. Open-Ended Inquiry - In this form of inquiry-based learning, students are free to pick a topic that interests them and explore it independently, with the teacher providing minimal guidance.

Through inquiry-based learning, students are empowered to ask questions, become problem solvers, and engage in critical thinking, which are essential skills for success in the workforce.
 Join us as we dive into this critical topic and explore how you can use the four types of inquiry-based learning in the classroom today.

This podcast episode discusses the three primary assessment and evaluation types for teachers: diagnostic, formative, and summative.

• Diagnostic assessment is used to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses at the beginning of a school year or course to inform instruction. This can take many forms, such as diagnostic tests, skills assessments, and individualized learning plans.
• Formative assessment is used to monitor and improve student learning in real-time. It's an ongoing process that helps teachers gauge whether students understand the material being taught and allows students to receive feedback and adjust their learning strategies. Examples include quizzes, class participation, and exit tickets.
• Summative assessment is used to evaluate student learning at the end of a unit or school year; it often takes the form of a test or final project.
  The episode also provides examples of different assessments and evaluations that can be used in the classroom.

Managing your time as a teacher is not easy. But if you know what to do, it can be done!

Teaching is an important job that requires lots of energy and focus. It also takes a lot of planning and preparation. Here are some tips for managing your time as a teacher.

Set Goals.
Setting goals is one of the first things you should do when starting out with teaching. You need to set goals so that you know where you want to go. If you don’t set goals, then you won’t know how to reach them.

Plan Ahead.
It’s also important to plan. This means planning lessons, assignments, and projects before you start teaching. Planning ahead will help you stay organized and keep track of everything you need to do.

Prioritize.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the number of things you need to do each day, prioritize them. Start with the most important tasks first. Then, organize your schedule so that you can complete those tasks efficiently. Finally, make sure you have enough time to accomplish everything you need to do each week.

Create a Schedule.
You should also set aside some time every day to work on your lesson plans. This will help you stay organized and focused throughout the school year. It will also give you an opportunity to review your lessons before class starts.

Is your math classroom the right place to be using reflective journals?

I started using reflective journals in my math classroom a couple of years ago and now it’s one of my favorite things to use in math class. 

If you’ve never used reflective journals in your math classroom before, I hope this episode will convince you to try them out! I’m covering what math reflective journals are, how they will help you evaluate your students, how to structure them, and how to introduce them to your class. 

If you want to reduce the number of tests your students have to take and the amount of marking you have to do, math journals are for you. Learn more about them in this episode!

How do you teach two grades in your math class at the same time?

This episode is all about how to approach teaching math in a split-grade classroom. 

These are my suggestions and strategies for teaching a split-grade class without constantly feeling like you’re doing two jobs at once. None of us have time for that! 

You don’t have to double your workload to teach a split-grade classroom. I want to show you how to keep your workload the same as it would be if you were teaching a straight grade. You might have to tweak things here and there, but I promise you don’t have to start from scratch for each grade. 

Teaching math to your split grade is like a train. You will pick up students along the way, let them off when their time comes, and keep going with those who can. What does that look like in your classroom? You’ll have to tune in to the episode to find out!

Do you spend hours trying to make everything fit on your bulletin boards and look good at the same time?

I’m taking you through my process of putting together a bulletin board and teaching you how to plan it out in advance so that you know everything will fit in the space that you have. 

Creating a mockup to scale is the simplest way to plan out your board, and you can use software to make it even easier. It will save you a ton of time because you know exactly what your board will look like before you start putting it up. 

I’m covering everything from planning color, text, shapes, and space. With a little help from this episode, you’ll be able to put your boards together faster than ever.

Do you like a lot of structure in your classroom, or do you prefer to hand the responsibilities over to your students?

The great thing about math centers is that you get to choose what learning looks like in your classroom.

That’s right, in this episode, we’re continuing the discussion about math centers.

I’m explaining why I love centers so much for math and teaching you two important aspects of planning centers: how to rotate your students through different activities and how to group your students.

It all comes down to choosing structured vs. open rotations and fixed groupings vs. flexible groupings. I’m giving you 4 different ways to run your centers using these options and explaining when and why you might use each one.

If you want to create more flexibility in your classroom, this is for you.

What if I told you that you didn’t need to have so many math tests? There are other things you can do to effectively assess your students and generate marks for their report cards without overburdening yourself with marking to take home. 

I’m sharing the methods you can use to assess your students without giving them endless tests and creating more work for you. These methods are going to give you more reliable results that accurately reflect how your students are performing, and they will allow you to assess your students more frequently so that you always know where they’re at with the material.

If you’re not utilizing things like guided sessions, math warm-ups, and math journals, then you’re probably spending a lot more time writing and marking tests than you need to be. 

Are you ready to ditch the tests? This is for you.

If you simplify the work you give your students because it’s too hard, are you accommodating, or are you modifying?  

Your students have been through a lot when it comes to learning during the pandemic, and of course, you want to support your students who have gaps in their learning, but it’s important that you’re not modifying the program that they need to be on now.   

This episode is about how to make sure you’re not modifying and oversimplifying tasks to meet your students where they are but instead are accommodating to help them reach where they need to be.   

There’s a fine line between accommodating and modifying and I want to help you identify that and stick to it. I believe in you and your students, and I know that you’re going to get exactly where you need to be by the end of the year.

If you're feeling the urge to simplify your students’ work to make it easier for them, stop and listen to this episode first!

There’s a fine line between accommodations and modifications for students, but both are important to understand and can help you keep all your kids on track. 

In this episode, I’m focusing on accommodations in the classroom and talking about what they look like, how to implement them, and how they differ from modifications. 

If you need some ideas on how to accommodate for gaps in understanding due to the pandemic, I’ve got you covered. 

You can also come back to this episode anytime you’re struggling with accommodations in your classroom. It doesn’t have to be pandemic-related!

Do your kids work a little differently in the classroom these days?

With COVID restrictions lifting here in Ontario, teaching is finally starting to feel normal again, except for the fact that now we’re teaching pandemic kids. 

Learning has looked pretty different for our students over the last two years. Many of them are used to working at home on a laptop or tablet with the freedom to walk around, go to the bathroom, and get snacks whenever they want. Others might not have had much access to technology at all and haven’t had as many opportunities to learn as their peers. 

This episode is here to help you and your students settle back into your less-restricted classrooms. I’m going over what it’s like to teach kids who have experienced a different style of learning over the last two years and what we can do as teachers to help them move forward. 

If you’re trying to figure things out as your classroom gets back to normal, this episode is for you.

Sometimes a new curriculum comes at us with little to no warning and we feel like we’re expected to overhaul absolutely everything to do it the new way. 

In this episode, I’m talking about how to handle curriculum changes and what you can do to reduce some of the stress that they cause. 

It’s important to remember that changes are made for a reason. It doesn’t make sense to keep an outdated curriculum that doesn’t reflect the world we live in today, so changes can be a really good thing. 

If you’re facing a curriculum change, I want you to know that often, it’s not as big of a deal as it seems. By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools you need to handle it calmly and confidently. 

Tune in to find out how to handle curriculum changes like they’re no big deal.

Are there things you’ve tried in your classroom that you will absolutely never do again?

After 15 years of teaching, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, but some stand out more than others and there are definitely some that I will never make again. 

In this episode, I’m sharing the top three things I’ve done in my classroom that I don’t ever want to do again. Hopefully, this will help you avoid making the same mistakes that I made or give you some ideas about how you want to run your classroom.

You’ll hear why I tried each of these things, why I stopped doing them,  and why I don’t plan on ever doing them again. 

I still make mistakes every day, but I do my best to learn from them and use them to make my classroom a better place for all my students. 

If you want to know what things I would never do in my classroom again, tune in.

This is the story of how we ended up playing Minecraft in my classroom to learn about social studies. 

My students were shocked when I said yes to letting them play video games in class, and because I listened to them and let them lead, they were engaged in the project right from the start. 

Now, I didn’t just set my students loose on the computers and let them do whatever they wanted. We talked as a class about the curriculum expectations for their project on the global community, they created a plan for how to demonstrate the curriculum expectations in Minecraft, and then they did it! 

I even learned a thing or two about Minecraft along the way. 

If this sounds like something your students would love, tune in to find out how we made it work!

What do you do with the rest of your class when you want to do guided reading with a small group?

That’s the question I hope I can answer for you in this episode. We’re digging into a bunch of different activities that you can use to allow you to focus on guided instruction while the rest of your students work independently. 

Independent learning might not always look the way you want it to. It’s important to remember that different students work in different ways, and it’s okay if they aren’t silent and still the whole time that you’re working with a small group. What’s more important is that your students stay engaged in what they’re doing until you get back. 

We’re talking about how to teach your students to work independently, what independent learning tasks should look like, and how to hold students accountable for the work they are assigned.

What are you going to try next time you need to do guided instruction? Tune in to get some ideas.

Do you hate marking? Yeah, me too.    Marking is a constant struggle. It’s so time-consuming that we feel like the only way to get it all done is to take it home, but when we take it home we either leave it in a bag and forget about it, or we ditch our time with friends and family and spend our time working unpaid. Does that sound familiar?   

This episode is about how to strategically plan time for marking and set up conditions that allow you to get it done in a less time-consuming way. 

I’m sharing 6 tried-and-true strategies that I use to reduce the amount of marking I take home. 

If you want to spend more of your time at home with friends and family rather than buried under a pile of marking, this is for you.

Do you consider yourself a lifelong learner? I feel like a lot of us get into teaching because we love to learn, and our guest on this episode is no exception. 

Celeste Kirsh is researching how teachers can learn new genres of writing. In this episode, she’s sharing some of her findings so far that could shake up the way we learn as writing teachers and how that relates to teaching middle school writing. 

Celeste understands the common obstacles that teachers face when it comes to teaching writing, and she believes in researching and finding better solutions.

Have you ever been questioned about how you teach math or why you teach certain strategies? Most of us have. 

In this episode, I’m continuing the discussion about new math and why we teach so many different strategies to help kids solve number problems. 

I’m specifically walking you through different ways to teach division because division is often the most challenging. We’re looking at different strategies, why we use them, and what order I would teach them in. I’m giving you examples of each strategy so that you can see exactly how I would teach them in my classroom. 

To get the most out of this episode, you might want to check out the video that goes with it on the Madly Learning YouTube Channel. There you’ll be able to see the division problems that I’m explaining on the screen and follow along. 

If you could use some help understanding all the ways we teach division in new math, this is for you.

Have you ever questioned why you’re teaching so many different ways to do division and multiplication or even addition and subtraction?

Math these days requires us to teach a lot of different strategies for solving problems, and this can cause a lot of frustration to parents and teachers alike. I want to use this episode to explain why new math teaches kids so many different strategies and why I think it’s a good thing. 

The reality is that new math is not new. It teaches strategies that strong mathematicians have been using in their heads for a long time. However, it looks different from the way that we were taught math when we were younger. Most of us were taught that there’s one right way to solve each problem. Guess what? That’s why so many people think they're bad at math! 

This episode will help you understand the reasoning behind new math and teach you how to communicate with parents so that they can understand too. 

If you get frustrated by how many different math strategies you have to teach, this episode will help you out.

How do you assess your students in math? 

Some of the traditional methods of assessing math don’t give us the most accurate idea of a student’s abilities. Answers are often seen as black and white and right or wrong, but that doesn't tell the whole story of how a student has interpreted and worked through a question. 

In this episode, I’m talking about how to assess your students in math, use the four levels of the achievement chart with different math problems, do a summative assessment in math, and mark math in a way that accurately reflects your students’ abilities. 

I’m also sharing different examples as I go along to demonstrate each suggestion so that you can see how they would work in your classroom. 

If you’re looking for a better way to assess your students in math, this is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the components that I include in my math program to help me structure the program from beginning to end. 

There are four main components to my math program that I’m walking you through and I’m explaining each one and how they all fit together as we go along. 

Most of us are dealing with a mix of students who are confident in their math skills and those who feel like they aren’t good at math. With the right systems in place, your math program can work for all of them. 

If you want to create your best math program yet, this episode is for you.

Did your school board switch to Microsoft products or restrict your access to Google resources when working with students?   

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to use Microsoft products with some free online tools to help you create digital resources for your online or in-person classroom. 

These days, a lot of us are being asked to create resources that work for students online, in person, or both. I want to share some tips and strategies to make sure that your resources work well when they are printed or viewed on a screen. 

There are a lot of resources out there for using Google Drive, Docs, Slides, and Sheets, but what if you have to use Teams, PowerPoint, or OneNote? I’m here to help you figure it out. 

If you’ve never used Microsoft before, or you need a refresher, this episode is a great place to start.

You need to stop spending so much time writing your report cards. There, I said it. 

Writing your report cards does not have to be this huge endeavor that takes hours and hours outside of your contracted time. 

Trying to write personalized comments for each of your students while also meeting the requirements of your administrator can be a challenge, to say the least. This is what ends up taking teachers so much time. 

I’m teaching you how to systematize and simplify report card writing so that you can complete them in far less time. There are three myths that are eating up your report card writing time, and we’re busting them in this episode. 

If you’re ready to save yourself some time, you’re going to love this episode.

I am constantly looking for ways that I can simplify my report card writing so that it takes less time. The last thing I have is an additional 40 hours a week to be writing my report cards, and I bet you feel the same way!

In this episode, I am telling you about how I simplify the process of writing report cards and how I systematize writing learning skills for each student.

I understand that learning skills should be personalized and tailored to each and every student, but that could take days. For a busy teacher and mom, that is not realistic!

I have found the perfect program to help me write learning skills that take half the time and are still personalized - it is called Student Evaluator.

Tune in to learn how and why I love to use this learning skills generator program to save myself time and energy and how you can get 10% off of Student Evaluator to use it for yourself!
