(Multiple color pencils for multiple instruction)
By Asif Uddin
Students feel so special when they know that their teacher wants whats best for them in regards to every aspect of their lives, especially in regards to student learning. Differentiated instruction is not putting all the students under one scope and using only one lens to teach them all. Carol Ann Tomlinson mentions in her book, differentiation means giving students multiple options for taking in information (1999). The teacher is not force feeding his/her method of teaching because it is believed to be the most correct method of instruction.
In my preclinical experiences, I have seen when the teacher is providing information to the students as a class, not all the students are able to retrieve the information being presented. When the teacher recognizes this, she goes to each student separately to assist them or she puts them into stations and reteaches the material using another method to make sure students have been given the opportunity to learn in multiple ways. By doing this, it allows students to feel special because the teacher cares about student learning rather than just "the money".
