Differentiated homework allows teachers to tailor assignments to students' skill levels by providing a menu of options that increase in difficulty. Teachers can either let students choose from an open menu or select specific homework for each student. When implementing differentiated homework, teachers can increase the challenge over time, give guidance on which tasks students should attempt based on their abilities, and mark only the assignments intended for each student. Differentiated homework works well as occasional assignments, as cover work before teaching a new topic, or when teachers are struggling to develop typical homework.paul ramjohn letter

Mrs. DeCelle has transformed her students and works closely with parents. She helped discover that Jayden may be gifted, whereas others had misjudged him.
