Presented by A Word With Us
A Word With Us, LLC is passionate about providing tailored, practical workshops that provide educators with tools they can implement the following day. We present the way we teach in order to model what students need. The presentation will be interactive—requiring participants to work in pairs, groups, and with the presenters as they differentiate materials.
Audience
This session is tailored for any educator seeking to enhance their understanding of differentiation strategies to effectively meet the diverse needs of multilingual students in their classroom.
*This State-Wide Title III Consortium event is offered only to South Dakota State-Wide Title III Consortium members.
Please contact your district administration or the event coordinators to inquire about consortium membership.
Workshop Description
As teachers, we know that we should differentiate, but do we always do it? Are we intentional about our differentiation? The Meaningful Differentiation workshop provides educators with specific steps to follow and resources to use when differentiating content materials for various students. Participants will discover the steps for differentiation, interact with sample tasks, and collaborate with the presenters for ideas for tasks within their content area. Led by an EL teacher and a content teacher, the presentation will be co-taught, and interactive.
