Explore the power of Differentiation in the Classroom
Do you believe that students learn at different rates? Do you think that students have different strengths and needs? Does it feel overwhelming or almost impossible to meet those needs in every lesson? This is where differentiated instruction can help. This new buzz word in education is actually a time-tested technique that perhaps, you currently use with your classes. For example, most teachers already provide choice, use a variety of teaching materials, or tier their instruction, but there’s more to it. Differentiation requires teachers to assess students and adjust the content, process and product to meet their students’ needs. It may sound daunting, but with a few fresh examples and tips for executing differentiation in your classroom, it can be a powerfully effective tool for reaching all students. This course will walk you through the various definitions of differentiation, how it is effectively (and ineffectively) being used in classrooms across the country and provide tips and resources so that you can begin to truly differentiate your instruction with your students.
