Differentiation

** Even though students may learn in many ways, the essential skills and content they learn can remain steady. That is, students can take different roads to the same destination.

One of the biggest challenges for teachers is how to respond to the range of learning needs across a class. Knowing how to differentiate effectively involves being aware of your learners’ needs so that you can select appropriate strategies to suit them.

Many activities can be adapted to suit each stage in the learning framework. By changing the type of questioning, resources or method of recording every student in the classroom can be playing the same game or working on the same activity.
