CLASSROOM DIFFERENTIATION STRATEGIES

Differentiation of instruction is a teacher's response to a learner's needs guided by general principles of differentiation, such as flexible grouping, ongoing assessment and adjustment.
 
Teachers can differentiate the content, process and/or product of the curriculum according to a student's readiness, interests and learning profile.
 
Differentiation can be achieved through strategies such as:
  • Ability/Cluster Grouping
  • Higher Level Thinking/Questioning
  • Pre-Assessment
  • Curriculum Compacting
  • Curriculum Extension Choices 
  • Tiered Assignments
  • Student-Choice/Direction
  • Independent Projects
  • Enrichment
