Day 2 - May 7th
Differentiated Instruction: Principles and Practicalities
Some students are ready for the first steps of a topic, others are ready for advanced assignments, and still, others don’t have the basic elements from last year’s curriculum, so how do we tier instruction and assignments to maximize each child’s learning? "Let me see what it looks like!" is the most common request from those differentiated practices in their classrooms, and this session provides a robust response to that plea. Join us for a practical and thought-provoking look at what constitutes effective instructional practice for diverse students. Using real classroom situations and examples to support learning at home, this session provides tips on lesson design, tiering, assessment, practical cognitive science principles, flexible grouping, and how to get to know our students so we can respond appropriately. This is a "how-to" and "why-we-do-it" workshop for those just getting their feet wet and for those already swimming in differentiated instruction who want more ideas. Don’t miss it!
