Engaging every student by differentiated instruction…..is it
simple?Is it possible to be implemented by all, at all levels?Is it possible to be implemented for all subjects and topics?What about the board classes?Do teachers actually have time to find out the ability of each child and work accordingly?Even if we manage to change the classroom senario, what happens to the assessments?
Then how can we bring a change in our classroom?

Change for good..Differentiated instruction in the form of engaging students in our classroom, is possible if we think differently.
There may be hurdles, but teachers need to take some risk and think differently.
Time constraints are a major issue, however, if we have the passion to give the best to our students, then we can bring the change.
Small risk can bring a renovation in the lesson and this can be a reality.
