I recently had the opportunity to attend the Time To Teach! Differentiated Instruction training course by the Center for Teacher Effectiveness. I am the Senior Training Advisor for the Crisis Prevention Institute, CPI. I teach adults in both curricula on a weekly basis in our “Train-the Trainer” courses all across the US and Canada. Since my Differentiated Instruction training by the Center for Teacher Effectiveness, I have begun to incorporate a greater array of activities and strategies in my courses for a range of adult learning styles, such as Randomization, Story Telling, Concentric Circles and Entry/Exit Tickets. Not only do these DI strategies help promote engagement of students in school classrooms, they are very effective with adult learners. If you teach at the University level, or conduct corporate trainings and presentations like I do, you know how sometimes we can encounter adults who are less than thrilled to be there. Believe me, Differentiated Instruction works for adults too.
