My preferred method of differentiating instruction is to implement project based learning that allows options for all students. I have done this successfully as a high school business teacher. The business and management class I taught allowed students the opportunity to operate the Viking Branch of Marion and Polk Schools Credit Union. At the beginning of each term, students not only learned (and taught) the technical and interpersonal skills needed to serve our customers, they had the opportunity to choose from a variety of projects aligned with Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). This structure of choice helped students to develop their unique gifts and talents in ways that allowed results beyond any I could have planned. One diverse team of students after learning about the "Rule of 72," and receiving lesson planning coaching, created and taught several 20 minute lessons for elementary and middle school students that used tootsie rolls to illuminate the power of compound interest. Inspiring student inquiry and ownership in their own learning through project based learning and authentic assessment has proven to be one of the most powerful differentiated instruction tools for student engagement that I have found.

In December 2006, DebOrAh experienced a break through with an instantaneous shift in consciousness following a powerful Chakra clearing massage from a Reiki master. In the ten days that followed, she dropped 15 pounds, wrote a book, downloaded the framework of her life path, and witnessed yoga postures emerging in mediation without having received any formal yoga instruction. When she returned to the classroom after winter break, her principal asked, "What happened to you?" At that time, she didn't have an answer. What happened wasn't something she had learned about in any classroom. In search of answers, in 2007, DebOrAh completed Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy Levels 1 and 2 and left the high school classroom to enter the heart of education--Education of the Heart. With powerful lessons learning to listen, trust and allow, she received advanced training in Reiki, Integrated Energy Therapy, Lightwave Energy Therapy, Uttati Aromatherapy, and New Earth Academy Curriculum Innovation. In 2014, she learned that some of her most advanced teachers in the Classroom of the Future were masters of unity consciousness disguised as non verbal autistic. DebOrAh is known as a teacher, mentor and coach who connects heart to heart in ways beyond words. She speaks, signs, sings, and gazes the Language of Light. DebOrAh is passionate about helping ALL, who choose, to feel safe to be seen in sharing their unique gifts and feel supported to live their soul's genius and thrive in their divine destiny. Journey to the Heart of Education with DebOrAh and prepare to experience the Classroom of the Future with your team.
