|
"Differentiated instruction is an educational approach that adjusts instruction to accommodate individual students’ needs, thereby increasing both student learning and motivation. Because traditional instruction tends to teach to the middle, or primarily focus on reaching average children, the needs of struggling and advanced learners are often not adequately addressed. This review explores the creation of a differentiated classroom by introducing the philosophy behind differentiated instruction. Because differentiated instruction assumes certain degrees of literacy and independence, some of these strategies are more appropriate for young children than others. This review synthesizes and presents a variety of strategies appropriate for use in elementary schools, particularly in the primary grades. Because few authors have written extensively on differentiation, the field would benefit from the addition of further viewpoints, as well as scientific studies on the efficacy of differentiated instruction."
