Grade Levels
7-9, 10-12Are you interested in designing instruction and assessment that would allow you to reach all of your learners?
With the diversity that we see in our classrooms, it can be daunting to satisfy the goals of all of our students and to fulfill their own personal learning needs. Through one teacher’s experience, you will see what inclusion can look like at the junior high and high school level, learning about differentiated instruction and assessment in both academic and interdisciplinary courses using Jennifer Katz’ Three Block Model.
Session One: Teaching to Diversity - Is it possible to program for all of my students? How do I design instruction and assessment to make it accessible to all of my learners?
Session Two (Webinar): Sharing Experiences - What experiences have I had with designing for diversity? What icebergs and anchors do I anticipate to implementing in my setting?
Session Three: Planning Structures - How do I design this for my own setting? What potential solutions exist for my identified challenges?
