Book excerpt: No single approach to teaching is effective with all children; each helps those with identified learning-style strengths to increase their knowledge base within the first three or four months of classroom use. Some learners will want to continue using a single method; others will prefer a variety of approaches. When the activities described herein are introduced to students whose learning styles they match, most will demonstrate strong abilities to learn and remember new and difficult content within the first four months of beginning—if not earlier. This book is written to prevent more children from becoming at risk and to help those who already have fallen behind their classmates and do not enjoy school. Each chapter describes different instructional strategies, a summary chart shows how to match at-risk learners with the specific approach most likely to substantially increase their academic achievement. These instructional approaches are designed to engage youngsters in action-oriented activities that gradually increase cognition and help children to internalize and retain what they are taught. Applications of these instructional strategies are suggested for increasing performance in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies.

Book excerpt: Differentiating Instruction for Learners with Special Needs: An Anthology provides future educators with a compelling collection of articles that explore special education, differentiated instruction, and universal design for learning. The text helps readers better understand how to work with children who are exceptional in the general classroom and how to apply strategies for teaching them in an inclusive environment. The anthology is divided into three distinct parts. The readings in Part I address special education and the law, and feature discussions regarding laws that impact students with disabilities, the emergence of special and inclusive education in the United States, and perspectives on IQ, ability, and eugenics. Part 2 focuses on differentiated instruction. Readers engage with articles about role-playing in an inclusive classroom, technology as a differentiated instruction tool, peer mediation, assessment to enhance student learning, and more. In the final part, readers further develop their understanding of universal design for learning (UDL). The articles address how to assist students with reading disabilities, the three-block model for UDL, and how to help English language learners cultivate greater literacy. Featuring contemporary research and approaches, Differentiating Instruction for Learners with Special Needs is an ideal supplementary resource for courses and programs in education, especially those with focus on special education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much has changed in schools in recent years, the power of differentiated instruction remains the same—and the need for it has only increased. Today's classroom is more diverse, more inclusive, and more plugged into technology than ever before. And it's led by teachers under enormous pressure to help decidedly unstandardized students meet an expanding set of rigorous, standardized learning targets. In this updated second edition of her best-selling classic work, Carol Ann Tomlinson offers these teachers a powerful and practical way to meet a challenge that is both very modern and completely timeless: how to divide their time, resources, and efforts to effectively instruct so many students of various backgrounds, readiness and skill levels, and interests. With a perspective informed by advances in research and deepened by more than 15 years of implementation feedback in all types of schools, Tomlinson explains the theoretical basis of differentiated instruction, explores the variables of curriculum and learning environment, shares dozens of instructional strategies, and then goes inside elementary and secondary classrooms in nearly all subject areas to illustrate how real teachers are applying differentiation principles and strategies to respond to the needs of all learners. This book's insightful guidance on what to differentiate, how to differentiate, and why lays the groundwork for bringing differentiated instruction into your own classroom or refining the work you already do to help each of your wonderfully unique learners move toward greater knowledge, more advanced skills, and expanded understanding. Today more than ever, The Differentiated Classroom is a must-have staple for every teacher's shelf and every school's professional development collection.
