    I loved the specific website examples Lisa showed during the presentation. I liked how she talked through some of the challenges with differentiating in the classroom.

  7. Valeria – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner)

    I would off like to have more ideas for the lower grades such as first grade. It often talked more about high schoolers or upper grades, so I am still finding it difficult to find ideas for activities for differentiation. I would like samples not just saying to modify it.

  8. Michael – GRAND PRAIRIE ISD (verified owner)
