Description
Differentiation is a key element that helps you address the individual needs of your students and empowers them to thrive academically. One of the best ways to support differentiation in your classroom is by using pre-assessment. In this course presented by educator Dr. Colleen Boyle, teachers will explore different types of pre-assessment data and learn to make decisions based on that data to plan differentiation in their classrooms. After taking this course, you will gain a deep understanding of the purpose and features of pre-assessment and how to incorporate it into your instruction.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn about:
- Formal pre-assessments
- Informal pre-assessments
- Using data for differentiation
- Using data for grouping

I found this training to be especially helpful with examples on not only how to pre-assess students but also what to do with the data. The multiple examples we were asked to analyze were very beneficial. However, this training made it very clear that pre-assessment and the differentiation that follows takes great effort and planning.
