Notes:
Registration includes continental breakfast, lunch, breaks and a copy of Rick Wormeli's best-selling book, Differentiation: From Planning to Practice.
Rick Wormeli will deliver energy, validity and high standards to this interactive one-day training. Rick is recognized internationally and is a highly sought after presenter and author of several award-winning books about differentiation and assessment, including Meet me in the Middle and Fair Isn’t Always Equal: Assessment and Grading in the Differentiated Classroom.
It’s time to bust those differentiation myths and get practical! Join us for a provocative seminar in which we reveal DI fact from fiction, identify basic components of successful differentiated instruction, and walk through a differentiated lesson design. We’ll also explore the roles of formative assessment, tiering, scaffolding, and practical cognitive science, and we’ll identify tips for working with English Language Learners as well as students identified as Gifted/Advanced. The day includes scenarios from real classrooms, video clips, plentiful handouts, humor, and candid conversation. This is a “how-to” and “why-we-do-it” workshop for those just getting their feet wet with differentiation or those already swimming who want more ideas. Don’t miss this powerful catalyst for the differentiated instruction in your classroom!
