EDU 694 Differentiated Instruction

This course will examine what is meant by differentiated instruction in authentic classrooms. It explores proven approaches for differentiating instruction such as: varying content, process and products, anchoring activities, framing instruction around higher order thinking skills, curriculum compacting, tiered lessons, varied instructional approaches, flexible grouping based on readiness, interest, and learner profile, and balanced assessment. There will be repeated opportunities to reflect on beliefs and dispositions relative to differentiation.(1 credit)
