Achieving Differentiated Learning

Marjorie S. Schiering has devoted her career as an educator to developing teacher’s and learner’s comprehension of self- efficacy through experiential learning, which focuses on the Interactive Method (IM) and its components. She continually addresses the Cognitive Collective (Reciprocal Thinking and Feelings) to establish and maintain a viable, safe, positive and congenial classroom community where there is teaching of thinking, as well as the concept of our all being teachers of something and that “something” being our character.
