Looking for advice and guidance on how to implement differentiated
instruction throughout your school? Learn from the experts.
Administrators and teachers alike will find viable ideas and
answers to questions as leaders at two schools share milestones and
vignettes from their real-life experiences in converting entire
faculties to this dynamic approach to teaching and learning. The
authors balance broadly applicable guidance with specific
illustrations of how two schools-a middle-income elementary school
and a mixed-income high school-experienced the change process in
dramatically different ways. In both instances, the new approach to
teaching and learning had sweeping, positive results for staff and
students. Carol Ann Tomlinson, Kay Brimijoin, and Lane Narvaez have
combined their expertise with differentiation in schools-including
professional development, research, leadership, coaching, and
teaching-to highlight factors that contributed to the continuing
success of school reinvention efforts such as: Approaching change
with the particular school culture in mind. Leading a staff toward
change with appropriate pushes, pauses, and acknowledgments.
Fostering continued growth in understanding and skill with
differentiation in the classroom. Encouraging teachers to reinforce
one another's strengths. Monitoring progress toward expanded
flexibility in instructional approaches. Nurturing teacher leaders
who can sustain the effort beyond one principal's tenure. Providing
strong support and role models for deep and broad changes in the
school's teaching practices and learning potential. Every educator
seeking to move beyond isolated efforts to differentiate
instruction will find practical support and inspiration in this
book. At the same time, you'll gain understanding about the key
characteristics needed for deep, lasting instructional change that
taps into the learning potential of all students in your classrooms
and schools.
