Do you find it challenging when planning to meet the needs of diverse learners in a single classroom? Teachers must learn to embrace learner variability as the norm to create equitable learning environments. Differentiated instruction is a philosophy that governs teacher practice related to designing learning experiences that meet the needs of all learners. It embodies rigorous, inclusive, and conscious lesson design, and it challenges teachers to take a close look at the content, process, product, and environment to ensure that the learner experience is equitable and responsive for those who need additional support. Join us as we take a closer look at the foundational elements of the differentiated instruction process. We will look at various aspects of differentiated instruction, discuss where to begin, and learn about the power of choice and how it transforms learning. This session is aligned with FAPE, IEP Implementation, LRE, Instructional Strategies components of the TEA required self-assessment, and SPP indicator Education Environments (School Age).
