Differentiation is building different ways of learning into lessons. Accommodations are tools that help students access materials and content that aren't otherwise accessible. Both are important during the planning, delivering, and wrap-up phases of lessons. Remote learning presents unique challenges that make it difficult to differentiate or make changes during a lesson. Building in opportunities for students to access the content and lesson; and work in different ways makes learning accessible and engaging for all students.
