Diane Ravitch explains that differentiation involves "offering several different learning experiences in response to students' varied needs. Educators may vary learning activities and materials by difficulty, so as to challenge students at different readiness levels; by topic, in response to students' interests; and by students' preferred ways of learning or expressing themselves." This month's featured resource, Differentiating Like A Star, offers suggestions for differentiating instruction, including using data, assigning tasks or texts, and creating classroom groups. The more stars you're able to introduce, the more strategic and targeted the instruction! |
