Fulfilling the Promise of Differentiation

The idea of differentiating instruction to accommodate the different ways that students learn involves a hefty dose of common sense, as well as sturdy support in the theory and research of education (Tomlinson & Allan, 2000). It is an approach to teaching that advocates active planning for student differences in classrooms.

It is our hope that this website will provide a resource to those interested in fulfilling the promise of differentiation.

This summer, the University of Virginia will offer 2 one-week intense courses on differentiating instruction. Dr. Carol Tomlinson will be the lead speaker with many other professionals throughout the week to guide teachers and schools to a deeper understanding of differentiation.
