Differentiated instruction is simply breaking large groups into smaller homogeneous groups and teaching to the needs of those groups. Sometimes differentiated instruction can be singling out a particular student with a specific need and addressing that need individually. In other words no cookiecutter instruction, one size fits all type of teaching. Individualizing instruction. This not really new just a new name. I�m sure someone coined the phrase and wrote a book and made a gazillion dollars. LOL Ed |

Hi there Ed! Great approach to the subject...a gazillion dollars for something people already knew and used...how funny(and a bit irritating)! |

My favourite book on the subject, theory + practice (it includes a section of photocopiable activities and templates): The Mixed Ability Class, by Julie Tice, Richmond Publishing (1997) You �ll find lots of practical techniques and teaching ideas for differentiated instruction. Have a nice day, mena |
