Strategies for Differentiating Instruction Reviews

The fourth edition of Strategies for Differentiating Instruction: Best Practices for the Classroom contains a treasure trove of practical suggestions that will make differentiating easier for all teachers to meet a variety of learning differences in young people. It is the most comprehensive book on this topic, and it should be on every teacher's 'must read' list.

Joseph S. Renzulli, University of Connecticut, USA

As a first-year teacher, this textbook completely changed my classroom approach! The differentiation strategies are easy to use, quick to prepare, and truly work to meet the needs of the individual students in my classroom. The strategies in this book are top of the line, and helped create student excitement for learning because I learned how to meet each child's needs on their level. I would recommend this textbook to all teachers, first through the thirtieth year!

Julia Roberts and Tracy Inman have done it again! Strategies for Differentiating Instruction: Best Practices for the Classroom is the 'must have' instructional resource for every teacher. With clear, straightforward conversations, Roberts and Inman share essential insights about equality in learning, pretesting, and classroom management. Illustrative examples explain how and why instructional differentiation is critical to every student's learning success. Each strategy discussed by the authors is designed to support teachers from start to finish - beginning with student interest inventories and pre-assessments, through brainstorming and tiered instruction, and concluding with assessment resources such as the Developing and Assessing Products (DAP) tools. Do you have a poster project to assess? There is a DAP tool for that! The DAP assessment rubrics are essential evaluative tools that raise the bar for advanced learners while providing essential feedback to students. This is the one book that I cannot live without because it supports every moment of instructional planning, teaching, and assessing student learning.
