The Diverse Learners concentration area provides a multitude of teaching opportunities and strategies shown by research to be effective in educating diverse student learners. Diverse student learners include students from racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse families and communities. If educators act on the knowledge research offers, we can realize the educational excellence we desire for all children.
This concentration area also includes courses on differentiated instruction. Teachers learn how to develop a student’s ability to relate to differentiated teaching and assessing through multiple intelligences in order to provide a rationale for using alternative assessment techniques currently popular in reform-based education. At the completion of the course the learners will have gained more knowledge in the following areas: differentiated instruction, teaching in a mixed ability classroom, and classroom management.
It’s no secret that modern schools often require a special level of effort on the part of teachers in order for students to achieve their highest potential. Teachers need to be proficient at managing their classrooms and have the tools necessary to manage today’s sometimes-unpredictable student groups. Learners will explore proven classroom practices with the goal of ensuring instructional activities are valuable and accessible to all students.
