Inclusion Workshop W-7
Differentiation of Instruction Within Inclusion Classrooms
Grade Levels: PK-5, 6-12

This includes scaffolding and deliveries that value UDL & UbD principles, peer support, multiple intelligences, discrete task analysis, cooperative learning, brain-based learning, technology, VAKT elements, constructivism, and self-efficacy.
