• Wide range of diversity in America’s classrooms:– This year it is predicted that 3% of people under the age of 18 in the US
will be African, Asian, or Hispanic American.– Number of children with disabilities from culturally and linguistically
diverse families has increased from 33% (‘92) to 46.7% (‘01) (US Department of Education, 2001).
• 2001 No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act – Require closing the achievement gap with accountability, flexibility, &
choice– Disaggregation & review of data for all learners– Highly qualified staff
• 2004 Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act (IDEIA) – Promote inclusion – Access, participate, & progress

• Teachers can make the content, processes, and outcomes of instruction more accessible to all students- regardless of the students’ race, gender, ethnicity, language, or differing abilities
• Dispel assumptions about an individual based on a classification (language proficiency, social or economic class, race, or ability or disability)
• Prevent “Disability spread:” a state where people only see the limitations of a student

• Research shows positive academic and behavioral outcomes for diverse learners, increased capability to personalize support for students, and the increased effectiveness of instruction.
• Encourages teachers to try new arrangements in the presentation of curricular content
• Create ‘classroom elevators’ that take students to higher & higher levels, rather than as ‘stairwells’ that take students to a certain grade-level landing where they stop (Tomlinson)

• “ Differentiated instruction is a teaching philosophy based on the premise that teachers should adapt instruction to student differences. Rather than marching students through the curriculum lockstep, 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.”

• When students are removed from their classrooms and placed with students deemed similar in other classrooms, a kind of tracking is taking place. Real flexibility is lost.

• Differentiation asks students to work with essential understandings at varied degrees of complexity and with varied support systems. Information-based tasks and skills-based tasks should ne congruent with students’ current needs. Struggling students don’t benefit from doing less of what they don’t understand, and advanced learners don’t benefit from doing more of what they already know.

• The most powerful differentiation is based on pre-assessment and ongoing assessment of student progress toward key goals. The teacher uses the assessment information to make proactive plans to address student needs. Some improvisation is still needed, but it is not a dominant means of differentiation.
