- Differentiation Isn't Just for Students: MiPLAN Program Benefits Teachers and Schools Robyn Christensen Jessica Navarro Ebony Love Teacher Improvement Faculty Development Professional Autonomy Course Selection (Students) Educational Needs Individual Development Teacher Motivation Educational Opportunities Many veteran educators are familiar with this professional learning scenario: Teachers from all grades and subjects are gathered in the library or cafeteria working on a mission statement for the school year, reviewing referral protocols, or examining data from the previous year's standardized tests. While these topics have their place, they do not address the potential personal growth each individual looks to experience with their own content and classroom environment. Teachers often find themselves thinking, "What does that have to do with my students?" or "How does this apply to my classroom?" Why do systems emphasize differentiation for students but not for teachers? A randomized study finds that when educators have agency in selecting their own professional learning, they are more engaged and apply more of their learning. This article presents how the MiPLAN program benefits teachers and schools.
