Teachers can differentiate based
on content,
process, product, or
learning environment.
 |

"what" students learn. |
|

"activities" in which students engage to make sense of content. |
|

"how" students demonstrate what they know, understand, and can do. |

environment — classroom "climate".

Differentiated instruction is grounded in the
belief that there is variability among any group of learners. These
student
characteristics
include:
|
Affect: refers to how students feel about themselves, their work,
and their classroom. |
|
Interest: refers to topics that students want to explore and their
engagement in learning. |
|
Learning profile: refers to cognitive styles (visual - auditory- kinesthetic
- tactile), grouping preference (individual - small group - large group),
and environmental factors (room arrangement and space, noise level,
temperature, lighting, etc.). |
|
Readiness: refers to students' skill levels and background knowledge.
