Advice and answers

How can I differentiate using Amplify ELA?

The Differentiation section of the Lesson Brief explains the supports provided in each level and when they may be helpful for particular students. 


Don’t forget that activities with a plus icon contain differentiation levels with supports and extension activities for all learners. And in the Student Level Assignments screen, you can easily drag and drop student names into the level appropriate for their needs!

The Vocab App

When students sign into the Vocab App, it will display words they'll work on that day: Two are “important words” from the text that all students receive regardless of their stream, two or more are words specific to the student’s stream, and two words are drawn from an academic word list that all students receive. You can set the level of differentiation from the Reporting tab while in the application.


Please note that setting differentiation in the Vocab App is distinct from setting differentiation in the curriculum!

“My favorite part about teaching Amplify is that my students are immersed in rigorous texts and activities and I can focus more of my energy on modifications, improvements, giving students valuable feedback, and lesson delivery.”

We want to spotlight you next!
