About this course

In every class, students differ in what they already know, how fast they read, which language they think in, and what interests them. Differentiation means planning so that every learner reaches the same important goal by different paths, without writing three separate lesson plans.

This course covers the core ideas (readiness, interest, learner profile), practical strategies (tiered tasks, flexible grouping, scaffolding, choice boards), and the frameworks behind inclusive teaching: Universal Design for Learning (UDL 3.0), Teaching at the Right Level, multilingual teaching under NEP 2020, and supporting students with disabilities under the RPwD Act. Everything is designed for real Indian classrooms, including large and multigrade classes.

What you’ll learn

  • Use pre-assessment to identify students’ readiness
  • Differentiate content, process and product while keeping the goal the same
  • Design tiered tasks and scaffolds for a single learning outcome
  • Group students flexibly based on evidence, not fixed labels
  • Design choice boards and learning stations
  • Apply UDL principles to plan for variability from the start
  • Support multilingual learners, students with disabilities and advanced learners
  • Manage differentiation in large and multigrade classrooms
