Category:Differentiation Strategies

"According to Carol Tomlinson and Jessica Hockett, “Differentiated Instruction is a proactively planned, interdependent system marked by a positive community of learners; focused, high-quality curriculum; frequent formative assessment; flexible instructional arrangements; and respectful tasks”. In her ASCD book, Assessment and Student Success in a Differentiated Classroom, Tomlinson suggests that the following five components of instruction can be differentiated: - Teach-Now Module 5, Unit 3, Activity 2
 * Content - what students are learning
 * Process - how students are learning
 * Product - what students create to demonstrate that they are learning
 * Affect - the climate of the classroom that supports learning and interactions among students and the teacher
 * Learning environment - the personal, social and physical arrangements of the classroom"
