The Differentiated Classroom ─ Responding to the Needs of All Learners

This, the second edition of the text, offers advice and instruction for teaching a diverse population of learners while meeting standardized goals. The text begins by defining and explaining the term “differentiated classroom” and how this modern classroom differs from previous generations of classroom instruction. The text is geared towards teachers in k-12 classrooms. Tables outlining the difference between a differentiated and traditional classroom are provided, as well as case studies from real classrooms. The meat of the text gives detailed instruction as to how to implement a differentiated style in one’s teaching, and how to tackle any bumps along the way. There is also thoughtful discussion as to why this approach is an important and valuable asset for today’s teachers to master. There is brief summary at the end of each chapter and an appendix with further tools for instruction. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
