What is Differentiated
Instruction?

Differentiated instruction is a teaching

philosophy based on the premise that teachers
should adapt instruction to student differences.

teachers should modify their instruction to

meet students varying readiness levels, learning
preferences, and interests. Therefore, the
teacher proactively plans a variety of ways to get
at and express learning.
~Carol Ann Tomlinson

How is differentiation being applied
in classroom settings?

In this instructional approach,

students are given multiple options
thereby creating a learning
environment that highlights the
students multiple abilities and skills.

could be adapted to differentiated

How does Differentiated Instruction
work?

D.I is based on the belief that pupils learn

best when they make connections between
the curriculum and their diverse interests
and experiences.
Teachers using differentiated
instruction match tasks, activities and
assessments with their pupils interests,
abilities, and learning preferences.
