In working with wonderful
teachers across the nation, the common thread of concern is
how to do it all. Teachers want to differentiate. They
certainly view it as important to their students, but they
continue to experience frustration at the vastness of the
task. How-to questions prevail. Management questions repeat
themselves in district after district. Therefore, the focus
of this book is to simplify the implementation of
differentiation to increase its practice. Specific aids and
examples are included because teachers found them
particularly beneficial to simplify the planning and
preparation process of differentiated
instruction.
Over 50
reproducible figures to aid differentiation in the
