Differentiated Instruction

Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet the students' individual needs. There are at least four classroom elements a teacher can tailor based on the student's readiness, interest, or learning profile.

• Content- curriculum the students needs to learn or how the student will access the information.

• Process- activities in which the students engage in order to make sense of or master the content.

• Products- culminating projects that ask the students to practice, apply and extend what he or she has learned in a lesson.

• Learning environment- the way the classroom is set up and managed during instruction.
