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!
