Tomlinson Chapter 8-10

Effective differentiation in education involves understanding and addressing students' readiness, interests, and learning profiles. Readiness refers to the students' current level of knowledge and skills and how teachers can push them slightly beyond their comfort zone while providing necessary support.

Tomlinson Chapter 8-10

Accommodating students preferred ways of learning through DI= successful student learning

If a student has a spark of curiosity about a topic, learning is more likely for that student (p. 52).

A good readiness match pushes the student a little beyond his or her comfort zone and then provides support in bridging the gap between the known and unknown (p. 45).

Equalizing for DI= successful student performance

Cultivate and affirm student interest= successful DI and teaching

The goals of learning-profile differentiation are to help individual learners understand modes of learning that work best for them... (p. 60).
