Differentiation in the Secondary Classroom
Tuesday February 4, 2025 1:50pm - 2:35pm AKST
TBA
Differentiated instruction is teaching with student variance in mind. It means starting where the kids are rather than adopting a standardized approach to teaching that seems to presume that all learners of a given age or grade are essentially alike. Thus, differentiated instruction is “responsive” teaching rather than “one-size-fits-all” teaching.
