Overview:
This four-session workshop is designed to guide teachers in understanding and planning for effective differentiated instruction in their classrooms. Each session will balance the need to understand the "whys" of differentiation with the need to act on the "hows" and "whats" of differentiation. Participants should develop or deepen an awareness of why differentiation and its five key elements work as they do to support learner success, how to plan for students to receive maximum benefit to from each element, and what it might look like when the understandings and plans translate into classroom action. We’ll use a variety of approaches such as readings, jigsaws, classroom videos, lesson plans, case studies, small group and whole discussions, and a range of instructional strategies to support participant learning. After each session, Dr. Tomlinson will hold "office hours" online so participants can discuss their questions and concerns with her or just listen to and respond to the questions of webinar colleagues.
AGENDA:
Session 1 - What Differentiation is and is not, Some low prep strategies for Differentiation

Session 2 – Addressing students’ varied readiness needs (including both low prep and higher prep examples)

Session 3 – Addressing students’ varied interests and learning preferences

Session 4 – The role of assessment in effective differentiation
Potential Audience:
K-12 teachers, university instructors, principals, curriculum coordinators, classroom coaches, professional development coordinators, English language coordinators, special education coordinators, reading specialists, coordinators of services for students identified as gifted, and other school personnel who support teachers in working successfully to teach in response to the varied needs and strengths of learners in their care.
