EDUC 211: Foundations of Exceptional Learners: Differentiated Instruction Presentation

Differentiated Instruction Presentation Objectives:
With partners, you will be required to prepare a 60-minute lesson/presentation for the class. Presentations should include:

• 45 minutes engaging the class in a differentiated learning activity that could be successfully used in a "general education" classroom with exceptional learners. Activities should:
  • Be hands-on
  • Include class interaction & participation
  • Include a supporting document that explains/highlights how you differentiated for exceptional learners & why it fits your chosen disability
  • Include at least 3 peer-review sources that support your decision to differentiate the way that you did for your chosen disability
• 10 minute discussion on your research that helped develop your lesson/presentation
• 5 minute Q&A session

REMEMBER:
Your research should be the focal point of your presentation - not an afterthought. Here are a few tips to making sure this happens:

• Verbally mention the applicable research in your presentation
• Provide examples from your readings that speak to your chosen differentiation
• Base your activities on solid research foundations INSTEAD of fitting the research to an activity you find that may not be grounded in research.
