Definition
“Differentiating instruction is not an instructional strategy or a teaching model. It’s a way of thinking about teaching and learning that advocates beginning where individuals are rather than with a prescribed plan of action, which ignores student readiness, interest, and learning profile.”
- Tomlinson

What Differentiation is Not
• A set of strategies, but a way of thinking about teaching and learning.
• Individualization of learning
• More work at the same level
• All the time differentiation, whole group activities continue to have role
• Group work without accountability
• Limited to acceleration
