Abstract
Higher Education in the United States is dominated by one-size-fits all pedagogical method. This traditional approach to instruction often is a mismatch between instruction and contemporary students’ academic needs. Differentiated Instruction, an evidence based framework used in grades K-12, provides a learner centered approach that successfully can be adapted at the college or university level to promote student engagement, facilitate motivation, and help students make connections between what is being taught and the profession they seek upon graduation. This session will provide an overview of how Differentiated Instruction can be applied to college courses.
