Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching and learning for students of differing abilities in the same class. The intent of differentiating instruction is to maximize each student’s growth and individual success by meeting each student where he or she is, and assisting in the learning process.”

After hearing the definitions of differentiation, you may add SYMBOLS, color, words, etc. to complete your graphic organizer or concept map.
Then prepare a 1 minute “elevator speech” explaining your organizer or map.

Turn to your elbow partner and discuss this question:
What are some examples of using readiness, interest and learning styles to reach the learner?
