Sharing What We Have Learned

The Wilmette differentiation support team has been fortunate and honored to share our learning and practical experiences with other school districts and at local, state, and national conferences. Our support model initiated in 1998 continues to be unique, and many educators are interested in how we implement a design that provides ongoing teacher support with planning, resources and training.

Our first experience presenting began when Dr. James Curry invited us to co-present at the 1999 NAGC conference in Albuquerque, NM. We shared our staff development model and our curriculum differentiation initiative with participants. (staff development presentation) From that point on we have enjoyed numerous experiences and have met some really outstanding educators across the country!

Our Sharing Opportunities

We have hosted over 20 teams from local, state and out-of-state districts answering questions, reviewing our model, and providing on-site observations. We welcome your inquiries and invite you to gain from our successes. (questions? please contact Cathy Flemming.)
