• The adoption of the Common Core Standards has placed increased attention on the need for all students to meet rigorous academic standards and for teachers to use instructional strategies to meet a diverse set of student needs. New evaluation systems require teachers to demonstrate their effectiveness in engaging students, differentiating instruction, using higher level questioning techniques and more. To meet these challenges, teachers need opportunities to learn about and share strategies designed to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse set of students, including those with special needs.
