Differentiating through Kaplan's Depth and Complexity Model
LIMITED
Thursday August 6, 2026 10:45am - 11:25am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Differentiation is a buzz word that gets thrown around in education all the time, but what is it truly? This session will provide strategies and proactive methods centered on using Kaplan’s Depth & Complexity Model. Instead of a one-sized fits all approach, Kaplan provides multiple pathways for students to learn the content. This session will provide participants with strategies that they can take and implement immediately in their classrooms.
