Effective Differentiation for Whole Class Instruction

When thinking about differentiation, most people immediately think about small group instruction.  This workshop instead focuses on ways you can differentiate your whole group instruction... tailoring your instructional practices to fit each of your student's needs.  We will discuss questioning strategies that allow each student to access the learning, and will consider how formative assessment data can be used both in planning and on-the-fly to drive instructional decisions. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, review sample lessons and view video clips that incorporate the best practices for differentiating for whole class instruction.
