CORRECTION: This was previously advertised as a book study, but it is a four part webinar series with no book study. You must be present at all four sessions in order to receive CEs.

Differentiation of instruction to meet the needs of all learners, including those with disabilities, involves being intentional in the use of multiple practices to ensure our students can access learning experiences in the inclusive classroom. Planning for differentiation includes creating an environment that is intentionally welcoming and accessible to all, providing choices for students to access their learning and demonstrating their understanding of the topic or skill. Differentiation requires collaboration and interdependence among administrators, staff, students and family members as they plan learning experiences that are adapted to provide multiple access points for learning. In this four part book study webinar series, participants will explore different approaches to differentiating instruction for students with disabilities in the developmentally diverse classroom. 

DATES: October 9, October 23, November 6, and November 20 You must be present at all four sessions in order to receive CEs. 10hrs of CEs will be awarded for full participation
