This video underscores the perseverance it takes to make differentiation work in the classroom. Underlying that perseverance is instruction that responds to students' differences, readiness, interests, and preferred ways of learning, coupled with leadership and flexible classroom management. These combined promote a teacher-supported growth mindset and demonstrate to students that teachers care enough to do right by them.

How To Differentiate Instruction in Academically Diverse Classrooms, 3rd Edition
We differentiate instruction to honor the reality of the students we teach. They are energetic and outgoing. They are quiet and curious. They are confident and self-doubting. They are interested in a thousand things and deeply immersed in a particular topic.

They learn at different rates and in different ways. And they all come together in our academically diverse classrooms.
