Description
Differentiation of instruction can be challenging with a wide range of physical development in each of our classes. This course dives into a model that allows us to differentiate with intentionality and effectiveness. Teachers will leave this course with an understanding of the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) to skill acquisition/motor learning and how it can be best implemented into the day to day of physical education.
