Differentiated Workstations • Presentation Overview:         This demonstration explains what workstations are, how to use them in the classroom and why they make effective tools for meeting the needs of each student based on specific data points. • Presentation Goals:        The goal of this demonstration is to help educators learn how to create data driven workstation groups. Educators will learn how to prepare and implement seamless workstations. They will also have allotted time to create resources for immediate use.
