EDCI 622--Curriculum Differentiation for Diverse Learners
Participants developed a personal and professional rationale for differentiating instruction in mixed-ability classrooms and acquired skills and knowledge of strategies designed to help a teacher utilize pre-assessment data, plan for, and implement differentiated instruction.
Course Goals:
By the end of this course, participants were able to articulate and apply basic vocabulary, principles, and strategies related to:
1. What differentiated instruction is and is not.
2. Ways to think about pre-assessing readiness, interest, and learning profiles in order to strategically plan appropriately differentiated curriculum and instruction.
3. Ways to think about differentiating content (what we teach and what students learn).
4. Ways to think about differentiating process (how students make sense of what they learn).
5. Ways to think about differentiating products (how students demonstrate what they have learned).
6. Establishing administrative and parental support for a differentiated classroom.
7. Implementing and managing differentiation in the heterogeneous classroom.
8. Appropriate use of a range of instructional strategies to facilitate differentiation.
