Differentiating Instruction


All students learn differently and have different needs. Diverse learners prevent one lesson plan from fitting everyone’s needs. No two students have the same strengths and weaknesses. Teachers need to make sure they are differentiating instruction to meet every student’s individual needs.

Differentiating instruction can be executed in a simple way. For students with disabilities, a teacher can make the assignments shorter, giving these students more time to work. For gifted students, the teacher can have them complete an open ended question. Some students work better by working alone in a quiet area and can benefit by simply having their desk moved to a quiet location. If a student has a hearing impairment, the student can sit close to the teacher so he or she can hear better.
