How to Differentiate Instruction in Mixed Ability Classrooms Paperback – 27 April 2004

It is an amazing book for new teachers and old teachers who wants to learn more about differentiation.by adding more organisers will make it easier to comprehend

Purchase book for use by teachers in an elementary school. Book was found to be fairly useful and a good aid to teachers.

This book is the best book on differentiation that I have read. Come to think of it, it's the best book that I've read on any aspect of teaching. I would recommend it for any teacher or anyone who is considering teaching as a career. Buy it, read it, you will not regret it.

I like the theory and implementation strategies behind this book! It was easy to read and understand, too. I bought it for an education/ teaching methods course and I've used it to write every lesson plan, unit plan since. It relates to the idea that classrooms are made up of so many diverse types of learners that you must try and vary your instruction. (It's a lot like Howard Gardner's "Ways of Knowing".) It gives suggestions on how to add "difference" to your lessons. A lot of school corporations near where I live are adopting "DI" as well. It's catching on along with "Understanding by Design." Differentiated instruction works really well with Special Needs students, too. I recommend that anyone teaching these students at least read a copy of the book if not keep one for their own libraries!

"Differentiate Instruction"に興味があり、いろいろな本をWeb上で見てから最初の一冊として購入しました。時間、場所、クラスのサイズが限定されている日本で、いかに異なる指示を生徒に出しつつ、一人ひとりの能力を引き出していけるのかと読みましたが、この本だけでは物足りません。子どもたちも楽しみながら学びを体験し、他とそれを共有できるのか模索したい気持ちがつのります。もう一冊、他の著者の"Differentiate Instruction"の本を購入して、実際の授業に役立ててみたいと思います。この本の著者に興味があるのであれば、Youtubeで見ることができます。

I found that since I already had a solid base of what differentiating is, that I didn't really get much out of this book. I was looking for more examples of how teachers differentiate. There are examples, but it wasn't the focus of the book. However, if you are new to what it is, this would be a great start.
