Classroom environment - how will you use foundational

Reference no: EM13459165

Differentiated instruction doesn't start with teaching; it starts with building relationships that begin with a safe, positive classroom environment. This week you will create a differentiated classroom framework based on a design that was originally constructed to assist teachers in meeting the new Common Core State Standards in an inclusion classroom (Voltz, Sims, Nelson & Bivens, 2005). This framework will be shared with other teachers in your Professional Learning Community (PLC) with the shared vision of creating a strong school vision that is student-centered through the foundations of differentiation.

Assignment Instructions:

This may be presented as a Prezi or PowerPoint, in a Voicethread with audio narration, blog space, or using a standard Word document.
