De Jesus, Olga N.
- Abstract
Gregory and Chapman (2007) the authors of Differentiated Instructional Strategies: One Size Doesn't fit All, stated that teachers can no longer teach "the lesson" and hope that everyone gets it. Research shows that students prefer instruction in various modalities. They learn in a variety of ways and have different interest. Some students prefer learning with visual aids, others by talking in groups or with a partner, others by listening to instruction; while others learn by doing and being physically involved (Kellough 1999). Differentiated Instruction is the new word and most school districts want teachers to be trained with this approach and want to see it implemented in their schools. Differentiation is a philosophy that enables to plan strategically in order to meet the needs of the diverse learner in today's classroom (Gregory & Chapman 2007). This paper will be based on differentiated instruction and the effects it has on students with diverse needs. It will attempt to address the following questions: What is Differentiated Instruction? What is the research background for this method? How does it work? What are the recommended instructional strategies?
