EDU62050 - Content Knowledge and Instructional Practice IV: Differentiated Learning

(3 units)
This course will provide you with the knowledge and tools to successfully implement Differentiated Instruction as a teaching strategy in your future classrooms. You will explore what differentiated instruction looks like, how to create a learning environment that focuses on student readiness and instruction that responds to student variances. You will learn how to determine student learning gaps through a task analysis of state standards that will pinpoint prerequisite skills. Through this process you will also create ongoing formative assessments that will move students towards mastery of those skills. By the end of the course you will understand the importance of student readiness, identify student interests and student learning styles as well as when it is appropriate to differentiate instruction. You will be able to implement a variety of instructional strategies that will differentiate student learning through the content, the process, the product and/or the classroom environment.
