P ROJECT S UMMARY Under the guidance of experienced teachers, Buffalo State College (BSC) teacher candidates developed integrated social studies units that incorporated differentiated instructional strategies. These units with all supporting materials were presented to Westminster Community Charter School (WCCS) as resources for WCCS teachers. The project was framed within a service learning context as a means by which to provide requested materials for teachers to improve social studies instruction and meet the needs of all students in their classrooms.
