I bought this book for a class...

I bought this book for a class at National University and ended up using it to balance a wobbly bookshelf. Very sound investment. Get yours today.

Helpful Summary and Practical Tips

Tomlinson's "How to Differentiate Instruction" has been quite helpful in two ways. First, she gives an excellent summary of differentiated instruction- a brief breakdown of what it is and is not. Second, she provides practical tips in how to manage a differentiated classroom, dealing with parents, etc. I'm not sure how helpful this would be for an experienced teacher, but for me (a first-year teacher wanting to begin differentiating instruction) the tips were practical and to the point. I felt this was more than theory- this was a how-to, which is exactly what I needed. I had actually borrowed this from a library, but wanted to hold onto for a reference so much I ended up buying it.

Especially helpful!

This work was my first exposure to differentiated instruction. It was, in fact, one of the textbooks for two of my college classes at Liberty University (from which I have a bachelor of science degree in multidisciplinary studies with cognates in religion and special education). Before this book, I had never even heard of differentiated instruction and had never been exposed to it. This particular work of Tomlinson's is especially helpful in today's classrooms as more and more we see special education students being included or mainstreamed (inclusion and mainstreaming are not the same thing) into the general education environment (though it would also be especially helpful to special education teachers). This book, along with Tomlinson's related work, The Differentiated Classroom: Responding to the Needs of All Learners, should be part of every teacher's professional library.

Differentiation

This is the "bible" so to speak on differentiation. If you are going to have one book in your collection that addresses how to adjust instruction for diverse learning needs in the classroom. This is it.

For education courses in Educational Psychology, Advanced Educational Psychology, Differentiated Instruction, Inclusion/Mainstreaming, Mild/Moderate Disabilities Methods, or General Methods (K-12). This brief Merrill/ASCD text provides guidance, principles, and strategies for teachers who are interested in creating learning environments that address the diversity typical of mixed-ability classrooms. The text will help educators understand what differentiated instruction is, why it is appropriate for all learners, how to begin to plan for it, and how to become comfortable enough with student differences to make school comfortable for each learner in the classroom.
