Summary:
This powerful engaging workshop
begins with recent research on the brain's response to stress,
emotions, experiences, and the environment. Discover how each learner’s
brain develops at its own pace and is uniquely formed. Students’ brains
learn differently, therefore, teachers must know how to differentiate
instruction in today’s highly diverse classrooms. Using a Fishing
Tackle Box as a metaphor for an educator’s repertoire of strategies,
Martha will share dozens of classroom-tested practical ideas that will
inspire teachers on ways to modify the curriculum and their
instructional strategies - without compromising mastery of standards.
Learn new ways to orchestrate powerful learning experiences in response
to every student's unique needs. In this fast-paced engaging session
participants will learn techniques to
Understand four KEY components of differentiation:
• How the Brain Learns Naturally
• Managing the DI Classroom
