Why study differentiated instruction at Canisius?
This program is designed for teachers who already possess teaching certification and want to specialize in meeting the diverse needs of learners in mixed-ability classrooms. Teachers will gain expertise in differentiating instruction in order to challenge all students, including gifted students.
The degree in Differentiated Instruction meets the master’s degree requirement for permanent or professional teacher certification in the state of New York. The degree also meets the requirements for a certification extension in Gifted Education.
Our Differentiated Instruction Advanced Program (PDF), approved by the NYSED, allows teachers to earn certification in Gifted Education by completing four courses and passing the CST in Gifted Education.
