Differentiation: A Way of Thinking about the Classroom
A differentiated classroom leads to student success when:
• student differences inform planning.
• assessment is ongoing and diagnostic.
• multiple forms of intelligence are recognized.
• excellence is defined by individual growth.
• students make interest-based learning choices.
• several learning profile options are provided.
• many instructional formats are used.
• readiness, interest, and learning profiles shape instruction.
To deepen your understanding of differentiation, join a professional learning community and attend workshops sponsored by Ingham ISD.
