Description This course is designed to empower
teachers to make instructional decisions based on
what their students are learning. Specifically,
attention will be given to ways in which teachers
individualize and differentiate instruction to
address the diversity of learning styles,
readiness levels, and strengths of their
students. More importantly, the emphasis of
teachers as inquirers will strengthen
dispositions for teachers to consistently
question, examine, and improve teaching practices
in their own classrooms. Resources Weinbaum,
