| What is Differentiation and Why Does it Matter? This session will lay the groundwork for the work of teachers and school leaders as they move forward in guiding classrooms designed to be responsive to the varied strengths, needs, cultures, languages, and aspirations of the students in those classrooms. We'll examine what differentiation is and isn't, why it is well-suited to contemporary classrooms, what it asks of teachers, and reasons to believe it will make a significant difference in student growth. It will also suggest six questions for teachers and leaders to consider as they work together to create responsive teaching and learning.
