Opis

Not all differentiation strategies need to be time-consuming and complex in development on the part of the teacher. "Ready-to-Use Differentiation Strategies" features a description of each strategy, how it serves students, tips and techniques for making it your own, and how to use it in the classroom with students in any content area in grades 3-5. Each differentiation strategy encourages higher level thinking and intellectual risk taking while accommodating different learning styles. The book also provides templates that can be used to develop new lessons using each strategy.
