Differentiation Through Inquiry
Consultant: Diane Parker
Teachers hear a lot nowadays about the need to differentiate instruction, but inquiry differentiates naturally. In this workshop, we will look at the key elements of differentiation and examine the organizational structures and strategies of an inquiry-based curriculum that support those elements and benefit students and teachers alike. Participants will learn specific, practical strategies for differentiating through inquiry and for monitoring and assessing student learning within such an approach.
