This workshop is targeted towards educators, principals, and all school staff who interact/teach students, and would like strategies and ideas as to how to teach all students differently, at an individualized learning level
At the conclusion of this workshop, the participants will be able to:

1. Develop individualized learning experiences for their classrooms, based on the differentiating needs of their students.
2. Understand and apply modifications and accommodations to their daily classroom tasks/student’s work.
3. Explore different methods of assessing students, based on their strengths.
This workshop will focus on individualized learning and teaching in the classroom. It will centre around the notion that all students are different; they learn differently, they have varied strengths and weaknesses, and they must all be taught/assessed based on their individual needs. This workshop will explore the opportunities all educators have to individualize the lessons they deliver, as well as acknowledge that success looks very different from one student to the next. Resources and teaching strategies will also be made available for educators to use in their own classrooms.
Instructional methodology of teaching to equity will be discussed and explored.
