Differentiation is a “hot topic” in education right now. As class sizes grow exponentially, teachers
face the daunting task of teaching all levels of student in a single class. Teachers must stimulate and
engage intellectually gifted students, while simultaneously scaffolding curriculum to support lower level
learners. This delicate balance is what many argue separates the best teachers from the herd.
Differentiated instruction excites the brilliant student to uncover deeper layers of learning, while
simultaneously structuring curriculum to support lower level students or students with learning
disabilities- both identified and unidentified.
Pairing students to allow for peer teaching is another method of reinforcing the strong student’s
understanding of material while providing a struggling student with a peer instructor. This reciprocal
learning style is another way for teachers to utilize the strengths in their classrooms to create this
differentiated instruction.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Just as consumers know that a one-size-fits-all won’t work when buying a pair of jeans, educators
know that one standard approach to teaching will not meet the needs off all- or even most- students.
Without an attempt to vary instruction to meet the individual needs of each student, the curriculum is
bound to bore some and baffle others. Differentiating instruction is the key to reaching all students.
