Do the students in your community have different needs? In a diverse world, that’s inevitable, and it can feel impossible for a teacher or school to meet every learner’s needs at once. But there are evidence-based ways to help every student achieve their potential.
In this recorded edLeader Panel, discover classroom-tested techniques that your teachers can use right away to keep each of their students appropriately challenged—and appropriately supported—every day. Former teacher and Modern Classrooms Project Co-founder Robert Barnett explains, using insights from his new book, Meet Every Learner’s Needs, as well as the lessons he has learned from empowering thousands of educators worldwide, how you can help your teachers:
- Make their content more accessible—and free up teacher time during class—by combining concise instructional videos with targeted one-on-one, small-group, and whole-class instruction
- Let their students learn at their own paces while collaborating with classmates and building strong relationships through high-quality teacher-student interaction
- Ensure that every student masters key concepts and skills, preparing them to succeed throughout their academic careers
After viewing this edLeader Panel, you’ll know exactly how to support your teachers in meeting every learner’s needs—and having the tools you need to make that happen. This recorded edLeader Panel is of interest to PreK-12 school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
