Summary: Inside this three-ring binder are 60 tools that can be used in every grade and subject, designed to help teachers reach higher levels of expertise with differentiation. Tools are organized around the key principles of effective differentiation: creating a safe learning environment and organizing the classroom to support multiple ways of working; focusing differentiation on the essential knowledge, understandings, and skills in the curriculum; using ongoing assessment of readiness, interest, and learning profile to identify every student's learning needs and monitor their progress; designing respectful learning activities that incorporate student variation and provide appropriate challenge while addressing common learning goals; and using a variety of instructional strategies that support flexible grouping so students experience learning in a wide range of contexts. Included with the tools are more than 40 samples that show teachers how to use the tools in various grade levels (primary through high school) and subject areas, so they get a clear idea of how to make differentiated instruction an everyday reality in their classrooms. 371.394 S917 Exploring differentiated instruction / Strickland, Cindy A.
