To what extent should  differentiated instruction occur in your classroom and/or your school? 

“Differentiated instruction is dynamic: Teachers monitor the match between learner and learning 

and make adjustments as warranted. And while teachers are aware that sometimes the 

learner/learning match is less than ideal, they also understand that they can continually make adjustments. 

Differentiation …is a way of life in the classroom.  [The teacher] does not seek or follow a recipe… 

but rather combines what she can learn about differentiation from a range of sources to her own 

professional instincts and knowledge base to do whatever it takes to reach out to each learner.”
