Databases for Differentiation: Finding and Tailoring Texts for All Learners

Teacher Librarians have always known databases are more than just research tools for students. They can also be a great resource to find quality texts for students of all levels. In this session, we'll explore how to help teachers use database tools to differentiate instruction and provide all students with the materials they need to succeed. We'll also look at how to use text-translating and summarizing tools to create learning materials that are tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each student. This session is for librarians who want to learn how to use databases to support differentiated instruction in their schools.
