According to NCDPI, “Differentiation is a teacher’s proactive response to the needs of their students. All students should be challenged and successful." Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs. Whether teachers differentiate content, process, products, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction. Differentiation is something everyone can benefit from. Your students who need more support get what they need as well as your highly gifted students. Everyone gets the instruction they need in order to interact with the standards.
