Here is an interesting visual I stumbled upon today while I was browsing through my Twitter feeds. The visual is an overview of what differentiated instruction is all about and sheds some light on key concepts related to this instructional method. In a nutshell, differentiated instruction is primarily suiting instructional means to meet individual learning needs. As such it targets the following areas:

Improvement of learning outcomes

Increasing learners' self-awareness

Helping students learn more efficiently and with deeper understanding

Inspiring a love of learning

Increasing engagement.

There a wide variety of reasons that make differentiated instruction a necessity in the teaching pedagogy. Some of these reasons according to Knewton are:

Students have different learning needs

They come from various educational and academic backgrounds

They have different attention spans and interests

They have different language abilities

They have different cultural and social backgrounds.

Have a look at the visual below to learn more about differentiated instruction
