Differentiated Instruction, Meeting Students Where They Are
December 4, 2024
| | |
No two students enter a classroom with identical abilities, experiences, or needs. Learning styles, language proficiency, background knowledge, readiness to learn, and other factors can vary widely within a single classroom. Regardless of their individual differences, however, students are expected to master their grade level standards. This session will provide strategies for providing several learning options or different paths to learning which help students take in information and make sense of concepts and skills. Participants will leave with strategies for providing appropriate levels of challenge for all students at various levels of learning.
Please note: This workshop is being offered as a Hybrid Course with in-person and Live via Zoom registration options. When registering for this course please select the option that best suits the needs of your district.

THE SEI ONLINE
A Free 15-Hour Course on Sheltered English Instruction
Developed by the SRI&ETTC Funded by the NJ Department of Education
| |
|
Educating students who still are acquiring English proficiency can be complex in an age of high stakes evaluations and assessments as well as college and career-ready standards. English language learners (ELLs) are not monolithic in their educational background, cultural experiences, and ability to adapt to learning environments. However, through well-planned instruction, ELLs can attain challenging academic standards.
