Background/Overview
A glimpse into any classroom will reveal a trend that all teachers already know—students differ from one another in myriad ways. Students come with different background experiences, have a range of interests and motivations to learn, and varying readiness to learn.
In these four weekly sessions, we will actively explore the essential tools for differentiating instruction.
This session will aim to help teachers make differentiation a real part of classroom practice:
What does differentiation really mean?
What instructional strategies can teachers use and when should they use them?
