The need to differentiate instruction is based upon three core principles: no two people see the world the same way, no two people learn exactly the same way, and education works best when there is recognition of the first two principles. The course examines a number of definitions of what it means to be an intelligent person and how to translate that information to specific classroom instructional and management strategies. Through increased awareness of the complexities associated with intelligence and knowing, students will be able to articulate, address and use various learning strategies in the classroom.
