Course List

Course participants will examine rationales for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of gifted learners, including those from diverse backgrounds. They will investigate and apply strategies for differentiating the content, process, products, and learning environment in response to varying learner readiness, interests, and learning profiles. Using the cases as a launching point, teachers will be given the opportunity to participate in on-line collaboration regarding beliefs, best practices, challenges, current research, and ways to apply this information to their own teaching practice.

Working in an inclusive classroom provides rich opportunities for both teachers and students to understand and embrace differences. Along with these opportunities comes the need to reach a broad range of students with different abilities and readiness. This module provides insight into related issues and strategies for reaching all students—including special education, general education, and gifted education students—through differentiated instruction.

Course participants will explore the instructional and leadership skills needed to support and encourage differentiation in today's schools. Using the cases as a launching point, teachers will be given the opportunity to participate in on-line collaboration regarding beliefs, best practices, challenges, current research, and ways to apply this information to their own teaching practice.

Course participants will develop assessment practices suitable for today's differentiated classroom environment.
