Differentiated Instruction: An Introductory Course equips experienced and beginning educators with the essential knowledge and skills they need to implement differentiated instruction (DI) successfully in their own classrooms. As a widely respected, research-based instructional approach, DI provides teachers with effective, manageable strategies for meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse student population within the context of today’s challenging standards-based curriculum.  Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to discuss and apply research underlying the theory, principles, and practices of differentiated instruction (DI).
