Defining Differentiation
Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching in which
the teacher strives to do whatever is necessary to ensure that
struggling and advanced learners, students of varied
cultural heritages, and children with differing backgrounds
of experiences learn to their greatest potential.
Differentiation is the tool to providing rigorous,
challenging, and coherent curriculum for all students.
The Differentiated Classroom: Responding to the Needs of All Learners, Carol Ann Tomlinson

Benefits
Benefits of Differentiated Instruction
 Meets the differing needs of students
 Creates days for
 Addressing student absences
 Using the tools of the LANGUAGE! curriculum that sit outside of the lesson plan
 Additional focus for common areas of need
 Writing
 Grammar
 Reinforces attendance and best effort
 Students with missing work or poor scores work with the teacher instead of at
stations
 Provides room for creativity
 For teacher, within the spectrum of the LANGUAGE!, For students through
varied activities

Assessment Information
Differentiation should ALWAYS be based first
on student formal or informal assessment
data.

Six Degrees of
Differentiation
Two variables impact the level of differentiation
 Preparation Time
