Advancing Differentiation

Thinking and Learning for the 21st Century

Do you practice differentiated instruction in your classroom? Are you ready to take it to the next level? Go beyond basic teaching strategies and gain the tools to differentiate the critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making skills at the core of your students’ learning across all content areas.

• Employ cutting-edge techniques for designing rigorous E4 curriculum (Effective, Engaging, Enriching, and Exciting)

Key features include:

• A solid, up-to-date research base that builds on the work of respected experts such as Carol Dweck, Robert Sternberg, Carol Ann Tomlinson, Diane Heacox, Benjamin Bloom, Joseph Renzulli, Robert Marzano, Edward Deci, and Barry Zimmerman
• More than 50 illustrative figures, diagrams, and sample lessons in all content areas
• Foreword by Diane Heacox, Ed.D.

Digital content includes over 40 reproducible forms, templates, handouts, and walk-through checklists (many as customizable PDFs), and a PowerPoint presentation for professional development.
