Become a certified Student Engagement & Motivation (Differentiated Instruction) trainer. Deliver nationally acclaimed professional development to schools locally, nationally, in-person or virtually — on your schedule.
Student Engagement & Motivation (Differentiated Instruction) is a consistent, classroom-proven teaching method that helps teachers reach students who are unmotivated, unwilling, or unable to work. That is why this training is in such demand across America.
As a certified trainer, you will help educators meet students where they are and lead them to where they need to be — using strategies that reach every student in the classroom, regardless of student profile.
Developed by Eric Combs, 2006 Ohio Teacher of the Year, and grounded in the research of Robert Marzano, Carol Ann Tomlinson, Sir Ken Robinson, and Howard Gardner, this is an evidence-based, highly successful set of strategies that tens of thousands of teachers have used for decades.
Whether a school has adopted a reading, math, writing, or other curriculum — our strategies elevate what's working and amplify academic achievement. After training, schools consistently report higher teacher satisfaction, improved student scores, deeper engagement, and the systemic cultural change they had long pursued.
Learn More About the ProgramOur full-day professional development is built around five research-backed components that give teachers immediately usable strategies they can implement the very next school day.
Rapport-building, movement strategies, feedback tools — creating classrooms where students feel safe, seen, and ready to learn.
Randomization, questioning techniques, and storytelling — competing with screens by making learning irresistible.
Synectics, brainstorming, visual connections — helping students attach personal meaning to every lesson.
Dynamic tension, hot seat, extempore — teaching students to perform under pressure and own their learning.
The matrix — a powerful tool for capturing, sharing, and scaling the best lessons across an entire school or district.
Schools across America have experienced measurable, documented results after implementing our Student Engagement & Motivation strategies. Our research spans over six decades, embracing only what is proven, replicable, and backed by current researchers.
The workshop was one of the most immediately useful workshops I've taken to date. Even after 20 years of education!
The best logical presentation on DI I've ever had in my 23 years of teaching. I have practical ideas I can use immediately. The presenter shows great knowledge of classroom practices and what life is like in the classroom.
Extremely valuable information. I really wasn't ready to leave. I learned more in this short time than years of in-services and reading journals. I can't wait to get started!
