Course Description:
Diversity is becoming a very real issue in our classrooms today. We have an increasing number of students requiring various learning styles, coming from different cultural backgrounds, and demonstrating ever-maturing attitudes. Reaching Diverse Learners is an integrated course that is brimming with ideas and strategies to help educators maximize abilities and cater to the individual needs of every student.
The course prepares you for the multicultural classroom. It helps educators to understand the influence culture has on the learning of a child by enhancing knowledge of the process of second language acquisition, introducing instructional strategies to promote effective interaction between ELL students and their classmates and approaches for adapting and modifying material to suit the learning needs of the ELL’s.
Teachers explore how behavior may taught through consistent responses and positive reinforcement. The online classroom is full of practical ideas and techniques that will help you as an educator learn to manage your classroom more effectively.

Very informative course. I will definitely be using PLB for future professional dev.
Overall, this was an informative course with well-documented information on best practices in education. I learned a few new strategies that will be useful in my ELL classes. In addition, it's difficult to find many good quality online courses on ELL instruction and assessment, so this was a helpful option. Thank you!
