Description

“In the good old days, we didn?t have to differentiate.”

If this is how you feel about differentiated instruction (DI), you are not alone. Although research shows that DI maximizes learning and neural development, teachers still struggle with its challenges, especially in the high school classroom. Applying her unique expertise as a researcher, teacher, trainer, and parent, Kathie F. Nunley provides practical and supportive solutions to the real obstacles teachers face in mixed ability high school classrooms.

Each chapter lists an obstacle-“I have too much content to cover,” or “I can?t grade all those different assignments,” or “I thought I was differentiating”-and then provides:

A discussion of the pedagogical and curriculum issues
Ready-to-use solution strategies
Examples and scenarios showing the strategies in action
Practice assignments
Written with common sense, wisdom, and humor, this easy-to-navigate guide is a must-have resource for all high school teachers and instructional leaders committed to the benefits of differentiated instruction for high school learners.
