Today’s classrooms are as diverse as ever, and teachers are faced with a growing challenge of meeting the instructional needs of each student. More and more, a one-size-fits-all curriculum is not sufficient.
By differentiating instruction—modifying curriculum and methods to meet individual needs—teachers can reach students with differing interests, learning styles, and abilities.
EPS understands differentiated instruction and can help teachers provide developmentally appropriate material to students at every grade and readiness level. |
Differentiated Instruction: An Overview
By
Cindy A. Strickland, University of Virginia
There has always been learner variability in the classroom, and good teachers have always differentiated their instruction, although they may not have used the term. Differentiation is not a new idea. What is new, however, is the increasing pressure on teacher educators and staff development specialists to help teachers learn how to address the increasing variability of today’s classrooms in systematic and consistent ways. A major goal of the differentiation model, as outlined by Carol Tomlinson (1999, 2001, 2004) is to help teachers recognize and embrace the need for variability in instruction and then develop and refine classroom-friendly strategies to facilitate both the design and the implementation of a differentiated classroom.

Megawords
Kristin Johnson, Polly Bayrd
Grades 4–Adult
This series addresses the need for a logical, systematic approach to teaching multisyllabic words. Its focus is on reading, spelling, and vocabulary. Words are broken down into syllables to help students decode the difficult words they will find in their reading and on standardized tests. As the series progresses, students encounter two-syllable words, common prefixes, and rules for adding suffixes. In later books, three-, four- and eventually five- syllable words are introduced. An assessment test to determine skill level is now available.
