Synopsis
While there are lots of books with information on why and how to differentiate instruction, here at last is a book that gets to the heart of why some efforts to differentiate flop while others lead to sweeping, positive results. When it’s your job to support differentiated instruction in a single school or systemwide, you need the guidance from these leading experts who’ve distilled what they’ve learned in helping successful schools through the change process, including:
- ? Fifteen common misconceptions about differentiation
? Eight nonnegotiables that are essential to the implementation of differentiated instruction
? Ten factors that contribute to failure to change classroom practice
? Eight leadership lessons for accomplishing the change process
? Forms, survey, and checklists for monitoring and evaluating the change toward differentiation
? Ten characteristics of staff development practices that support differentiated instruction
