Differentiation Instructional Concepts

Challenges to Teaching and Learning

Strategies to Support ALL Learners

Supporting References

Welcome to this experiment in sharing. During some live sessions, I will facilitate an exploration by educators about topics on Differentiation. They will range from pedegogical practices to instructional decisions for supporting all learners in deep learning experiences. The participants will drive the directions we take along this journey based on what their questions and needs are. The list below serves two purposes: allows participants to take a deeper dive into the resources based on participant questions; and encourage others to explore their own burning questions without having to wait.
