MICRO-CREDENTIAL COURSE
Differentiated Instruction for
Busy Teachers
This course is designed for busy teachers who want to have a quick refresher or just get some new ideas to help them differentiate instruction for their students. If you've not had a lot of experience with traditional models of differentiation, then this course will give you all the information and tools you'll need.
Let's start by stating the obvious: every person is unique. Yes, there are similarities across individuals and, at a glance, groups of students may share much in common, from their level of cognitive development to their sense of fashion. Every learner comes to your classroom with different experiences, different strengths and weaknesses, different preferences in how they take in and process information, different beliefs in their abilities, and different needs in how they interact with their peers and their teachers.
In this course, you're going to learn about foundational principles and models for differentiation as well as some practical ways to develop a differentiated classroom. You'll have plenty of opportunities to reflect on your current teaching practices and expand your use of effective differentiation strategies.
