  1. Ariel – REYNOLDSBURG CITY (verified owner)

    This course provided a great overview of differentiation and provided many resources and examples of how differentiation can be used in the classroom without the need to increase planning time.
    I loved all the links to resources given. Some of the links, however, no longer work.

    good for overall differentiation strategies and beginner techniques

  5. Racine – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner)

    Great course!

  6. Mara – SPRING BRANCH ISD (verified owner)

    This was a very intriguing course and was well thought out. Lisa spoke about differentiation and the ways that we can incorporate it in the classroom. She made it sound like a feasible task and explained things VERY clearly so that you could understand and eventually model in your class.

  7. Carla – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner)

    This was an excellent course. It offered an array of differentiation processes

    4.5

  9. Larry – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner)

    It was ok. There seemed to be a lot of product placement, but not a lot of techniques to help with differentiation. The actual techniques that were discussed are somewhat helpful

    I like it
