This fall, with support of the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification & Community Revitalization Commission, the Southside Educators’ Development Institute (SEDI) will offer a unique set of professional development opportunities including short courses for regional educators in every discipline at all grade levels. SEDI provides teachers with practical information using technology as a teaching tool, and guides educators in the process of deciding how to incorporate technology into their teaching practice.

Instructor: Eric Carbaugh, PhD, James Madison University
November 7, 2009 (Saturday) 10:00 am - 4:00 pm 6 points

A differentiated approach to teaching can offer ways of meeting learners where they are and helping prepare them for an optimal learning environment.
