The diversity of students in our classrooms is increasing; the need to shape curriculum and instruction to maximize learning for all students more urgent than ever. Educators are searching for methods that will allow us to accommodate the learning needs of all our students so that all are challenged, but not overwhelmed, by the learning process. Many of these methods are incorporated in the general approach of differentiated instruction. Differentiation is an umbrella concept that incorporates many effective traditional methods and strategies as well as merging many aspects of critical thinking, brain research, interdisciplinary instruction, and constructivism. Its roots are in gifted and special education but it has been developed as a means of accommodating the range of readiness levels, learning styles and interests of heterogeneous schools and classrooms.
