How Leaders Can Support Teachers

as they Begin to Learn about and Implement Differentiation

 

The role of leaders is critical in ensuring that differentiation becomes standard practice in classrooms and that the practice reflects what we know about quality teaching and learning. Without careful and consistent support it is highly unlikely that many/most teachers will not make the changes necessary in their teaching to meet the needs of their diverse learners. This session will provide guidance for leader support in the early stages of teacher development in understanding and applying the principles of differentiation. We will examine key concerns of teachers in the early stages of their work with differentiation, external barriers to differentiation and ways leaders can both encourage and support teachers in taking the very important first steps in establishing responsive instruction.
