It means creating multiple paths so that
students of different abilities, interests, or
learning needs experience equally
appropriate ways to learn.

1.Anchoring Activities
   A student may do at any time when they have completed
   their present assignment or when the teacher is busy with
   other students.

   They may relate to specific needs or enrichment
    opportunities, including problems to solve or journals to
   write. They could also be part of a long term project.
2. Flexible Grouping
    This allows students to be appropriately challenged and
   avoids labeling a students readiness as a static state. It is
   important to permit movement between groups because
   interest changes as we move from one subject to another
Homogenous/Ability                       Individualized or
 -Clusters students of similar           Independent Study
  abilities, level, learning style, or     -Self paced learning
  interest.                                -Teaches time management
-Usually based on some type of           and responsibility
  pre-assessment                           -Good for remediation or
                                            extensions
Heterogeneous Groups
 -Different abilities, levels or         Whole Class
  interest                                -Efficient way to present new
- Good for promoting creative              content
  thinking.                               -Use for initial instruction
3. Compacting Curriculum
      assessing a students knowledge and skills, and
      providing alternative activities for the student who has
      already mastered curriculum content.
   Student Centered          Multiple approaches to
                               content, process, and
   Best practices             product

   Different approaches      A way of thinking and
                               planning
   3 or 4 different
    activities                Flexible grouping
   One Thing               35 different plans for
                             one classroom
   A Program
                            A chaotic classroom
   The Goal
                            Just homogenous
   Hard questions for       grouping
    some and easy for
    others
What is fair isnt always equal

                     and

       Differentiation gets us away from one
 size fits all approach to curriculum and
 instruction that doesnt fit anyone
