Differentiated Instruction in Mixed Ability Classrooms - Elementary Schools
with Cindy Strickland
6 hours EILA credit, qualifies for CET update training
In today’s world, where the backgrounds of our students are so diverse and their needs seemingly so numerous, teachers must find ways to consistently reach more kids more often. We can increase the likelihood of this happening by recognizing and responding to our students’ varied readiness levels for new learning, honoring and celebrating their diverse interests, and understanding their unique preferences for how they learn new information and practice new skills. Come join 25-year teaching veteran and differentiation expert Cindy Strickland for a motivating (yet sensible!) introduction to differentiation of instruction.

Reading in the Content Areas
with Marilyn McGuire
6 hours EILA credit
Reading is a gatekeeper skill. Students who have sound reading skills that can adapt to a variety of reading materials are set up for school success. Students who struggle often do so because of poor reading skills. While teachers are typically taught how to teach reading, they are usually not taught how to teach reading skills in the all-important content areas or how to address the wide ranges of reading ability in each class—ranges that only grow as students progress through the grades. This course provides research-based, specific and immediately useful strategies that teachers can use to increase student reading ability and content area knowledge.
