Differentiation
One of a teacher’s greatest challenges is adapting instruction to meet individual student needs. Since not all students come into a class at the same place in their learning, we know it is necessary to differentiate, or tailor instruction uniquely, for every student. Teachers collaborate with the K-2 Content Specialist to differentiate for students according to their levels of readiness, interests and learning styles
