Differentiated Instruction 101



As a parent or teacher of children with exceptionalities, we will often hear other teachers complain about differentiated instruction, response to intervention, and accommodations. I hear way too often a teacher complaining about the hassle of inclusion classrooms. One things we must also remind these teachers of is that Universal Design not only benefits the child that they have designed the lesson accommodations for, but often the whole class. All students benefit from intensive instruction, and changing of medium. It's always nice to switch it up a bit in class and not stay in the same boring routines. A child with exceptionalities, can often be the best things that will happen in your career. Their entrance into the classroom will make you be a better teacher.
