Differentiated Perspectives: How Grade Level Impacts Maryland Teachers’ Desired and Actual Classroom Practices

• In Event: TED- Pedagogical Perspectives of and Strategies for Inservice Teachers

Short Description

Differentiated instruction is key to student-centered learning but teachers’ desired practices differ from their actual practices. A K-12 Maryland teacher survey was conducted, focusing on desired and actual differentiated classroom practices. This presentation will focus on how grade levels (PreK-Grade 5, Grades 6-8, and Grades 9-12) impact Maryland teachers’ self-reported desired and actual classroom practices, and how this data can be used in planning professional development.
