Course Offers “Tool Box” of Strategies
Eleven teachers from Fremont Public Schools successfully completed “Practices for Success” a graduate level course taught by Jeff Hallstrom, Professional Development Director at ESU#2. The course focuses on differentiated instruction and the Boys Town Education Model. This course is part of Fremont’s new teacher’s induction program. Course outcomes focus on developing an understanding of differentiated instruction as an instructional model and the creation of differentiated instructional activities that will be implemented in the classroom. This course will next be offered in the spring of 2011.
Comments from the graduates:
- “I really liked the variety of activities and techniques we used in class. This helped me to see different things I could do in my classroom.”
- “Very much enjoyed the class. Every teacher should take it!”
- “I learn by doing, so I enjoyed the hands on approach in class.”
- “I appreciated the hands-on activities, differentiation strategies, and the mixed teaching methods.”
- “I liked the different examples of teaching materials and how they actually could work in my classes.”
