How to Differentiate Instruction in Academically Diverse Classrooms 3rd Edition

I love this book. It is easy to read and very practical.

This book was required reading for one of my courses in my education specialist program, and I'm so glad it was. "How to Differentiate Instruction" goes beyond just the theory of differentiation and provides concrete strategies for implementation. I especially appreciated the chapters on differentiating content, process, and product, as well as the emphasis on creating a responsive learning environment. The case studies and examples were incredibly helpful in understanding how to apply these strategies in diverse classrooms, including those with students with disabilities. This is a must-have resource for any educator, especially those working with diverse learners.

I just started teaching school a year ago today but this book was bought for a college course. We went through at least two chapters a week and it was painful if you didn't know anything about how to implement differentiating instructions. It wasn't till the later chapters that it started to make sense. Having been in the military, each and every one of us received the same instructions, heard the same stories, and were put into the situation to practice what we learned. There were no differentiated curriculum or instructions. Fast forward a few decades to 2019. In order to help certain students, I allowed them to test verbally instead of on paper. I felt that some cardinal rule was broken and the gods of education would strike me down hahaha. Since it didn't happen, instead of lecturing one day, I had students come up and talk to the class about their experiences of some concept and what they felt it was all about. Six months later, my college course started and I bought this book. Long story short, I had exposed myself to what this book as all about. Having high expectations without support to help them get there was lost on me. It helped pinpoint where I should have been supporting them, how to differentiate instructions, increase the depth of understanding, creating groups and populating them with the right students. It also had me asking questions about the fairness and equity dealing with inclusive students and how increasing the content without excluding them in the equation. If anything, this is a primer but there are critics because they find it threatening backed up with statistics and truth are in the numbers. After my first year as a teacher, statistics count, qualitative be damned. Good thing I don't listen to soothsayers, my student's matter, not the institution for which it stands. There is so much to learn and this has been a light in the darkness for me.

This book came beautifully packaged and is a great book. It was brand new and for a college class so it works perfectly for my need!

Needed this book for a college course. Came in great condition!

Lo recomendaria!

This is the go-to book for differentiation by one of the foremost experts in it. We use this to teach a college class.

I am currently using this for NBC certification for component 2. It's an enjoyable, practical read.An assortment of "I could do more of this in my classroom" to "Yes, I'm already doing this well" as I mark up the chapters.
