In her presentation, Dr. Tomlinson describes the nonnegotiable elements of differentiation and gives several examples of this learner-centered approach to education. Also featured are expert teacher educators experienced in the use of differentiated strategies who demonstrate how to apply course concepts in the creation of lessons and learning activities.
In this course, you will learn how to:
• Differentiate your instruction in response to your students´ needs
