Last year Surrey started a process to infuse Making into the Surrey Learning Culture. Starting the process we provided 2 mini maker kits to every school that was interested in exploring the concept. We spent more than a month developing an ideal set of maker kits to be delivered to 30 schools to transform space and opportunities for learning differently. The Maker Movement has been growing in recent years. The movement is coming to Surrey in a big way. Come learn what we have done to empower teachers to join this movement that involves learning with hands on, tinkering, fixing, building mindsets.

7. Differentiation
Differentiated learning [...] involves providing
students with different avenues to acquiring
content; to processing, constructing, or
making sense of ideas; and to developing
teaching materials so that all students within a
classroom can learn effectively, regardless of
differences in ability.[1]
