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.
