shareDifferentiated Instruction
In teaching reading, one size does not fit all. Today's schools serve children from a variety of families and backgrounds, with a variety of learning strengths and needs. Trying to meet one struggling reader's needs in the context of a diverse classroom is challenging.
Differentiated instruction occurs when teachers respond to academic differences among learners in the classroom. It's a flexible and individual approach to instruction. When a teacher reaches out to an individual or small group and varies his or her teaching in order to create the best learning experience possible, that teacher is differentiating instruction. It's not easy, but it is critical for success.
