Topics examined will include differentiated instruction, multiple intelligences, and brain-research.  Educators will participate in a professional learning cohort as they pursue this inquiry. The ultimate goal of this course is to help pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students, with ADD/ADHD, to acquire 21^st century skills needed for living and working successfully in a global society.
