Differentiated Instruction (DI) is a powerful way to meet the individual and diverse needs of students. Principals, administrators, staff developers, and teacher trainers who are introducing or strengthening DI initiatives in their schools can do so more effectively if they use differentiated staff development activities appropriate to the backgrounds, experiences, abilities and interests of the teachers they are training and supervising. This book uses a "one size doesn't fit all" approach to faculty training, observation, and supervision for DI implementation.Among the topics covered for DI implementation are quality staff development and job-embedded training strategies for the entire professional learning community; step-by-step training activities using Gregory & Chapman's Differentiated Instructional Strategies (CORWIN, 2002) and other DI resources; suggestions for observation, coaching, and supervision; and an implementation profile to assess how every member of the faculty is progressing toward differentiation. A list of training resources and a full bibliography are included.
