Mr. Iseminger was an outstanding speaker and his knowledge of differentiation very evident.
This course is perfect for teachers who need assistance with differentiation in their classrooms. The activities, games and resources Bob shared are easy to work through and definitely benefit student learning and provide bounds of info to the teachers about their students’ backgrounds, knowledge and experiences, their flexibility or lack thereof, their leaning levels (both independent and instructional), whether they are right or left hemispheric learners and more. There is nothing worse than attending a seminar, conference, PD, or internet course where you listen to the speaker and then leave at the end with nothing that you can actually utilize in your classroom the very next day. Bob’s differentiated activities can be easily (and most will very little prep) implemented in any classroom and provide opportunities for success for all types of learners. The Demystifying Differentiation in the Elementary Classroom is one of the very best resources I have in my collection. All teachers in need of differentiation need this book! Fantastic course!

I felt the presenter gave a variety of different strategies that the gifted learners will be able to benefit from, as well as the regular and lower learners. I plan to implement several of the strategies in my classroom right away.

I really enjoyed this course. It was interesting to learn about the left and right hemispheres and how students fit into them. It was also great learning about how to come up with activities based on the hemispheres. It was a great class.
