Differentiating Indiana Academic Standards October 28,

How do you define…

Differentiation Providing instruction that starts where the kids are. Differentiated instruction is “responsive teaching” rather than “one-size-fits-all” teaching. Teacher proactively plans varied approaches and supports based on student need.. (Tomlinson, 2003)

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework that can turn challenges into opportunities to maximize learning for every student. When education fails, the curriculum, not the learner should take the responsibility for adaptation.” (Rose & Meyer, 2002) Differentiation is just one component of UDL
