Academic Validation

The CTE Differentiated Instruction program was the subject of a doctoral dissertation at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which found measurable increases in student opportunities to respond and significant decreases in off-task behavior following teacher participation.

"Since my Differentiated Instruction training, I incorporated Randomization, Storytelling, and Entry/Exit Tickets. These strategies work powerfully with adult learners too."

Dr. Randy Boardman, Senior Training AdvisorCrisis Prevention Institute (CPI)

"Student referrals dropped 30% on average every year for three consecutive years. Every day, I teach."
