Give ‘Em a Choice – Differentiated Assignments 

Differentiated instruction is not a new term in the world of education.  That’s a great way to teach, but don’t forget that students also give information back to us in different ways, too.  This session will introduce to you different ways to give your students assignments, and offer you multiple ways to evaluate the learning process.  Don’t put limits on your students, because that will put limits on their potential.  Open doors for them that other teachers have closed.
