Effective teachers know that differentiated instruction is necessary if they expect to meet the wide range of needs common in most schools. Teachers need to think carefully about how they are managing their classrooms, how they are grouping students, what kinds of instructional materials are appropriate for students with different needs, and what methods they will use to teach certain skills and content. Sounds pretty overwhelming, right?
