Wednesday 11 May, Thursday 16 June & Monday 8 August 2022 

Differentiation is a vital skill for all teachers in any Australian classroom, where the range of student abilities, interests and needs are so varied, including students with disability and those who may be gifted and/or talented. Teachers are now expected to differentiate and personalise learning to cater for the full range of abilities in their classrooms, however many are asked to do this with limited training, or without knowing how to connect differentiated practice to other aspects of teaching. In order for differentiated practice to be effective, it must be systematic and the lens through which other teacher tasks, such as assessment and program design, are practiced. Teachers who are highly skilled in differentiation are those who can ensure all students are learning and making progress. 

This course is appropriate for primary and secondary teachers, coordinators and curriculum leaders who want a comprehensive understanding of the evidence for and how to differentiate for diverse abilities, and how to do this effectively and efficiently. Participants will look at the practical aspects of differentiation including how to ensure it is systematic, and closely connected to assessment, program design and classroom practice. Participants will have the opportunity to explore and share ideas, participate in practical planning, and have the chance to implement goals in between each day. All workshop activities will be differentiated for difficulty/confidence levels and area of teaching, and participants are encouraged to attend with a school leader or colleague from their teaching team.

Sign-in from 8.15am.  Morning tea and lunch will be provided.
