Presented by Gretchen Goodman on Aug. 16 & 17, 2007

This two day workshop focused on differentiated instruction as a teaching strategy that enables teachers to address the diverse need of all learners, including students with disabilities, within general education classrooms.  The workshop covered basic principles and practical applications of differentiated instruction including classroom strategies and ideas along with hands-on learning activities across a variety of subject areas.
