Episode 23 - Differentiating Instruction for ALL Students

What began as an open mike idea, quickly developed into a conversation about the necessity to differentiate instruction for ALL students, not just those with IEPs or 504s. Maria Knee and Lisa Parisi were joined by Amanda Marrinan, all the way from Brisbane, Alice Mercer, from California, and Sheila Adams, in New Hampshire. Sheila also ran our UStream so the show was heard through that venue this week.

Here is the audio and chat archive.
