Alberta Education has developed a resource with the purpose of offering general information and strategies for differentiating instruction, providing ideas for differentiating learning and teaching, and offering practical, curriculum-specific ideas and strategies within the four core subject areas.
This website is the result of collaboration with Alberta school districts and consortia. It is designed to provide support for K-12 teachers from the moment of intake to programming for ELL students in classrooms on a daily basis. The site features an array of forms, guideline, tools and strategies.
