Differentiated instruction has developed a bad reputation in the Advanced Placement (AP) world. This is unfortunate because every student, from the advanced learner to the SPED learner, can benefit when educators have a firm grasp on how to use differentiation.

Description

What if AP classrooms are not actually geared toward meeting the needs of gifted students? Differentiation is the key to engaging students across the learning spectrum, especially in the AP classroom; but many AP teachers avoid differentiating because they have false beliefs about how to use it, and how it can benefit their advanced learners.

In this 1-hour course, tackle the top three myths about differentiation:

  1. Colleges do not differentiate instruction
  2. Pre-AP and AP classes are already leveled and do not require differentiation
  3. Differentiation is meant to close performance gaps for struggling learners (or specifically for SPED classes)

    2. Cynthia – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –

      Very informative.

    3. Kim – SWEENY ISD (verified owner) –

      Sound quality was a bit difficult in some places.

    4. Megan – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

      This course was informative.

    5. Tera – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

      This course is more geared for secondary teachers. While I did get some valuable information, I would have liked a coursed more targeted for elementary teachers.

    6. Joaquin – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

      Good Course

    7. Shannan – Pilot (verified owner) –

      The course was beneficial. It focused more on Pre-AP and AP students. I needed a course focused on differentiation with Gifted and Talented more so than AP students.

    8. Cynthia – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

      I understand how to implement DI into the classroom better.

    9. Stephany – HUGHES SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) –

      Audio had gaps and I would rather have a print out of the notes. Too much writing and my notes are overwhelming.

    10. Fotini – FABENS ISD (verified owner) –

      The audio wasn’t that great. If you have external speakers you should be fine.
