"In this updated edition of the popular and trusted guide, Diane Heacox provides a practical introduction to differentiation and explains how to differentiate instruction in a wide range of settings to provide variety and challenge in how teachers teach and in how students learn. Individual chapters focus on evaluation in a differentiated classroom and how to manage both behavior and work tasks. The author describes ways to get to know students and recognize that all have strengths and limitations. Templates and forms simplify planning; examples illustrate differentiation in many content areas. The book is refreshed throughout to reflect today's most effective practices in curriculum design and instructional methods. New features include connections to Common Core State Standards, revised information on multiple intelligences, updated bibliography and resources, and a PowerPoint presentation for use in staff training and professional development. The accompanying CD-ROM provides the PowerPoint and all of the reproducible forms from the book along with further examples of curriculum maps, workcards, and matrix plans. Teachers can print out what they need, when they need it, and can customize forms for their own classrooms and students"--
