Description:

Differentiation: A Practical Approach

In this workshop, participants will learn practical strategies to meet the needs of a diverse group of students. We will address how to implement effective differentiation strategies. We will discuss practical ways to assess and group students, differentiate lesson plans, and engage all students while effective maintaining classroom management. Participants will learn ways to differentiate how they present content, how to modify or extend their subject matter, and how to offer choice in the classroom by applying what they have learned in the workshop to their own lesson plans. Specific strategies for Literacy and Social Studies classes will be addressed.
