Description
Differentiation does not have to mean overloading teachers with more tasks. Lisa Van Gemert helps teachers break down the tasks of differentiation into manageable activities that teachers can implement as they learn them. In “Differentiation in the Real World: Process and Product,” Ms. Van Gemert focuses on the process and the product stages of learning and provides many activities to help teachers differentiate in these stages.
In this 1-hour course, teachers will learn:
- Guiding principles and key ideas for implementing differentiation
- Process: tiering and compacting
- Products: activities and choice
