Cheryl Brand has a Masters of Education in Special Needs/Inclusive Learning and completed the Graduate Teacher Program at Oxford. She has over 30 years experience of teaching and differentiating to meet the needs of a vast range of learners of all ages & ethnicities while circumnavigating the globe. As a digital immigrant, she is living proof that one is never too old to learn. Her journey as a lifelong learner includes applying experience to synthesize current teaching practices with 21st-century beliefs to expand the learning experiences of all her digital native and digital immigrant students. She is grateful for the opportunities to meet the challenges of diverse classrooms and to customize lessons that incorporate the four tools for differentiation: Instructional Strategies, Assessment Strategies, Group Strategies, and Classroom Management Strategies. She understands the critical need to differentiate instruction for learners in relation to their cultural needs, learning styles, intelligence theories, and cognition. Her philosophy that everyone can learn is based on her knowledge of brain-based learning.
