Differentiated Instruction JoryAnn Porter AET/525 April 18, 2013 Scott Sowers Differentiated Instruction According to Tracy Hall, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist (2002) to differentiate instruction is to recognize students varying background knowledge, readiness, language, preferences in learning, interests, and to react responsively. Differentiated instruction is a process to approach teaching and learning for students of differing abilities in the same class. The intent of differentiating instruction is to maximize each student’s growth and individual success by meeting each student where he or she is, and assisting in the learning process. The purpose of this paper is to examine an existing instructional plan, and describe two modifications for each of the four methods of differentiated instruction: the content to be learned, instructional strategies used to teach the required content, the product used to demonstrate mastery of the required content, and the environment to accommodate varied learning styles. Differentiating Content The first modification to differentiate content is to have minilessons.
