Differentiation of Instruction K-12

Instructor: Donna Lee

"In a differentiated classroom, the teacher proactively plans and carries out varied approaches to content, process, and product in anticipation of and response to student differences in readiness, interest and learning needs" (Tomlinson, 2001). This course incorporates Carol Ann Tomlinson's principles for differentiating instruction with Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. Designed to provide teachers and ed techs the opportunity to develop units of instruction to support differentiation for all types of learners, this course is an active, hands-on, participatory course that will transform the way educators perceive and value student learning differences.

Popular and energetic instructor Donna Lee has over 33 years of teaching experiences with kindergarten through university level students. Assessment specialist, stand-up comedian and University of Southern Maine instructor, Donna brings her advocacy for children and her passion for meeting the needs of diverse learners to life in this course.
