Differentiating Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment
Course Description:
Robin Fogarty has designed this training for teachers to address the goals of a differentiated classroom. Instructional practices must shift toward a more learner-centered focus. Facilitating differentiated instruction is not about teaching louder and slower. It’s about a robust instructional repertoire. It’s about having an assortment of teaching tools and techniques to meet the diverse needs of students. It’s about different strokes for different folks, and about different entry points and end points to learning!
According to Carol Ann Tomlinson (1998), “Three principles from brain research-emotional safety, appropriate challenge and self-constructed meaning-suggest that a on-size-fits-all approach to classroom teaching is ineffective for most students and harmful to some”. Differentiation is about change, challenge, and choice in today’s classroom: Change the content! Change the process! Change the product! It’s about student readiness, student interests and student learning profiles. It’s about the opportunity to learn through the many ways of knowing and expressing what one knows. Differentiation is about standards-based learning and high quality teaching.
