FIAE Chapter 1: The Differentiated instruction Mind-Set: Rationale and Definition

Differentiation is in everyday life including going to the grocery store.  Without differentiation in the classroom, we would probably never be able to learn all of the skills that are necessary to graduate.  Differentiation is important because, differentiation can be a deal breaker in students’ success.  Being the one who can create success in a student or ruining his/her academic career is an important and sometimes scary prospect.  Students will see as many different ways to learn and succeed as I can find in my career.  Having the necessary skills to join a college classroom and understand the different ways of learning will hopefully be something that I will be able to provide for my students.
