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
classroom!
