The Differentiated Classroom

Carol Ann Tomlinson, who has spent close to thirty years working in classrooms and with teachers, lays out a outlook on instruction that reshapes how educators view their students and the room they teach in. Her ideas rest on current research into how people learn, how schools function, and how people adapt to change, and she explains why differentiated instruction matters for the children of today.

The book is not only theory. Tomlinson fills its pages with accounts of teachers putting differentiation into practice and of the students who gain from it, showing what the approach looks like in daily lessons.
