Differentiated Instruction
… a flexible approach to teaching in which the teacher plans and carries out varied approaches to content, process and product in anticipation of, and in response product in anticipation of, and in response
to student differences in readiness, interests, and learning needs.(Tomlinson, 1995, p. 10)

Differentiated instruction …
… teacher proactively plans varied approaches to what students need to learn, how they will learn it, and/or how they can express what they have learned they can express what they have learned in order to increase the likelihood that each student will learn as much as he or
she can as efficiently as possible. (Tomlinson, 2003, p. 151)

• Teachers may therefore need to modifytheir approaches to accommodate all learners

Definitions• Accommodations refer to the actual teaching supports and services that the student may require to successfully demonstrate learning. Accommodations should not change expectations to the curriculum grade levels.
• Modifications refer to changes made to curriculum • Modifications refer to changes made to curriculum expectations in order to meet the needs of the student. Modifications are made when the expectations are beyond the students level of ability. Modifications may be minimal or very complex depending on the student performance.

What it is and what it is not:
• Differentiated instruction is proactive. The teacher assumes that students have differing needs and therefore plans a variety of ways for learners to express learning.
• Differentiated instruction is more qualitative than quantitative. Simply adjusting the quantity of the assignment is usually less effective than adjusting the nature of the assignment to match student needs.
![Page 17: Differentiated Instruction...Differentiated Instruction … a flexible approach to teaching in which the teacher plans and carries out varied approaches to content, process and product](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050405/5f82effab791db6e8d76434e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Differentiated instruction is rooted in assessment. Throughout the unit teachers use a variety of methods to assess students’ developing readiness levels, interests, and modes of learning. Learning experiences are then designed based on their best understanding.
• Differentiated instruction provides multiple approaches to content, process, and product. Teachers offer different approaches to what students learn, how they learn it, and how they demonstrate what they’ve learned. Commonly, all of

Issues with differentiating instruction
![Page 19: Differentiated Instruction...Differentiated Instruction … a flexible approach to teaching in which the teacher plans and carries out varied approaches to content, process and product](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050405/5f82effab791db6e8d76434e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Issues• Class SizeIt is hard to implement differentiated instruction in a large class. The value of differentiated instruction lies in the grouping of students by academic ability and need.
The ideal size for learning The ideal size for learning groups is three to five, no more than seven. Therefore, a class of 30 students would necessitate four or more groups, which is hard to manage and teach effectively.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE SHOULD NOT TRY!!

Issues• ResourcesDifferentiated instruction requires that a variety of materials and resources be available for students with differing learning styles.
For example, some students may learn a skill through the use of manipulatives and hands-on activities, and others hands-on activities, and others may need to see a videotape of a skill being practiced.
Whatever the method, these strategies require that teachers have a great number of available resources.

I was in my house, at the sink, when two of my three sons rushed in the back door. My middle son, who was ten, yelled “He’s gonna pummel us, he’s gonna pummel us!” He was grinning and running, and so was his brother. Then in ran my husband with a snowball in his hand. The boys and their father had been throwing snowballs and the boys, covered in snow, snowballs and the boys, covered in snow, couldn’t wait to be “pummeled.” All my “boys” ran out the front door, throwing snowballs and making a huge mess. I remember thinking “Do they have to use the word ‘pummeled’?”
