Did You Know? 

Research shows that:

• Students enter the classroom with a variety of abilities and interests, requiring that teachers employ a variety of learning options.

Keefe & Jenkins, 2005; Yatvin, 2004

• Excellent teachers rely on a variety of instructional strategies rather than relying exclusively on one method.

Langer, 2004

• The most effective teachers function more as facilitators and coaches rather than as lecturers and direction givers, particularly in the upper grades.

Bolliger, 2004; McCain, 2005

Quote

“A teacher in a differentiated classroom does not classify herself as someone who ‘already differentiates instruction.’ Rather that teacher is fully aware that every hour of teaching, every day in the classroom can reveal one more way to make the classroom a better match for its learners.”

~ Carol Ann Tomlinson, 2001How to Differentiate Instruction

in Mixed-ability Classrooms, p. 5

Attributes of Differentiation

• Students differ as learners.

• To learn well, each student needs appropriate challenge, success, and learning experiences.

• It’s unlikely that we will achieve challenge, success, and instructional fit for each learner by ignoring student differences.

• Effective attention to academic diversity needs to take place in an environment of mutual respect and safety with emphasis on growth and shared responsibility for learning.

Attributes of Differentiation

• Attending to student differences requires a flexible approach to teaching.

• Successful attention to student differences must be rooted in solid curriculum and instruction.

• There are many routes to achieving high-quality curriculum taught in ways that attend to student differences and build community.

• Developing differentiating classroom calls on us not so much to develop a bag of tricks as to rethink teaching and learning.
