Definition of Differentiated Instruction Differentiated Instruction (DI) is an approach that empowers both teachers and students to maximize learning for all by providing multiple pathways for students to take in information, make sense of ideas, and express what they have learned. Carefully crafted instruction responds to individual profiles, interests and readiness by modifying content, process and products. Through DI, teachers take into account who they teach, what they teach, where they teach and how they teach. The basic premise of DI is that students are different. Teachers of effective heterogeneous classrooms recognize the similarities and differences in students and proactively plan for these differences.
