Course #: EDPD 615 Instructor: Jennifer DeCollibus GRAD THROUGH MANHATTAN UNIVERSITY OR IN-SERVICE Today's students must have the ability to critically think and learn while engaging in rigorous instruction. Realistically, though, all students cannot meet these demands in the same way. At its core, differentiated instruction is a method that embodies critical thinking, constructivism, and interdisciplinary instruction which are key concepts of the Common Core and Next Generation Learning Standards designed to nurture life-long learners. Students who learn in a differentiated environment are more engaged, interested, and motivated because their personal, academic, and social-emotional needs can be met. This philosophy is particularly effective in addressing the most commonly underserved populations such as students of color, multilingual students, and students with disabilities because the on-going use of assessment drives instruction and enables educators to make instructional choices based on data instead of any personal biases influenced by gender, race, culture, background, social class, politics, or ability.
