This course was well organized and provided lots of strategies for differentiating any classroom of students. The required text is a great read and offers perspective on how to increase differentiation in a classroom setting without being overwhelming. I just wished there was more interaction and feedback from the professor leading the course.

Very well organized, assignments were meaningful. The class provides an understanding of differentiation but also practical ways and tools to be implemented.
