Teaching and differentiating in inclusive classrooms requires careful and flexible planning and creativity. Through design, re-design, and research-based, field tested strategy in inclusive classrooms, participants will invent and reinvent lessons using effective methods for differentiation, with a focus on ELL growth. Learning profiles, interest survey cognitive-friendly learning environments, SIOP strategies, tiered questioning and student "hooks" for rigorous learning application are some of the takeaways of this e-course.
