Defensible Differentiation: What Would it Take to Get it Right

Presented by: Carol Ann Tomilson
Carol is a reviewer for eight journals and is author of over 200 articles, book chapters, books, and other professional development materials.

There's a great deal of interest in “differentiated instruction,” but there’s no magic in the word. What makes a positive difference for students in classrooms is high quality teaching. Differentiation that reflects best teaching practice is where the promise for student success lies. In this session, we'll examine teacher lesson plans, video clips, and classroom scenarios to analyze what high quality differentiation looks like in action.
    Workshop Participants Will:
  • Understand the non-negotiable of differentiation
  • Analyze examples of classroom practice for fidelity to the principles of differentiation
  • Learn to apply essential principles of differentiation to their own planning and practice
  • Learn strategies and techniques to use with different student subgroups and learner profiles
  • Examine tried and true strategies for differentiation and find out how low-prep strategies can be taken to the next level of sophistication
