Course Content (Syllabus)
The high-diversity within the school population and the inclusive school philosophy, have led to the need for instructional adaptations on part of the teachers. In this course instructional adaptation is approached through the model of Differentiated Instruction (DI). DI includes adaptations of content, process and product based on the academic level, the learning style and the interests of the students. The role of instructional assessments, tiered instruction, management of activities and materials and specific strategies are introduced. A special emphasis is placed on explaining the impact of cognitive learning research findings on instructional applications. Syllabus 1 Presentation of the course content and requirements.
