In this course, you will learn how to identify your students' readiness levels, interests, Multiple Intelligence Profile, and learning styles so you can introduce practical teaching strategies that respond to their unique needs. With the help of your fellow educators, a coach, and an instructor, you'll also try your hand at designing rich, "tiered activities" and assessments that allow students of all ability levels to learn the same essential concepts in different ways. We will analyze examples of successful differentiated activities, discuss differentiated instruction in classroom management and give you practical steps to begin using differentiated instruction in classroom management.
The core questions we will investigate during this course are:
- What is differentiated instruction?
- What are effective differentiation strategies?
- How can we create environments that support the needs of all students in a diverse classroom?
- How do I implement differentiated instruction strategies?
To answer these, we will:
- Analyze examples of successful differentiated activities
- Discuss differentiated instruction in classroom management
- Give you practical steps to begin using differentiated instruction with your students
