Differentiating instruction
Our students come to the classroom with a variety of experiences and interests, learning at different rates and in different ways, demonstrating different levels of motivation, and representing multiple language groups. How can we meet the needs of all learners, and support students’ academic growth?
This workshop will identify key elements of differentiation instruction and how to use them in lesson design. The session will provide teachers’ opportunities to reflect on current instructional practices and develop new strategies for effective teaching of academically diverse students.
UPDATE: Due to overwhelming response for the Jan. 28 workshop, we’ve added an additional session of the professional development workshop on differentiating instruction on Feb. 11.
• Taught by current classroom teachers
• Collaborate with other charter school teachers
• Dynamic, hands-on session
• Informal setting
