The Differentiated Classroom Series
OPTIONS is a three part series that focuses on differentiating instruction through:
- respectful tasks
- flexible grouping
- on-going assessment and adjustment
- positive learning environment
- clarity of learning goals
Content and activities balance between the philosophy of working with students who have diverse needs, developing key understandings of the principles and practices of differentiated instruction, and learning practical tools that can be implemented immediately in the classroom. Participants will practice a range of instructional and management strategies in accordance with student readiness, interests, learning styles and preferences. The series is based on the work of Carol Ann Tomlinson and other nationally recognized leaders in the area of differentiated instruction.
A school team approach is strongly recommended for this professional development opportunity. Teams include a school administrator, ESE and General Education teacher leaders. Teams should plan to attend all sessions together.
Each part of the three part series must be taken in order. School teams may chose to focus on one part at a time. For example, part one may be completed in October, part two completed in February and part three completed during the next school year.
