Teaching and Learning

Welcome to the LINCS Community Teaching and Learning group! 

The target audience for this group is practitioners, administrators, advocates, researchers, and policymakers. The focus of the group is to explore evidence-based instructional practices that create opportunities for success for all learners.

Topics discussed include:

• Differentiated instruction

• Creating more accessible adult education classrooms
• Backwards design; using learner outcomes to identify learning objectives, instructional activities, and assessment strategies
