While differentiation is spoken of as “a given” in many schools, how it is practiced is often
reflective of a “thin” understanding of its meaning and potential to make a positive impact on learner
development. After a brief look at a “real” definition of differentiation, we’ll examine 3 “big ideas” of
differentiation that encourage growth in teachers that, in turn, can extend student prospects as well. We’ll
consider 1) a differentiation state of mind, 2) 3-D differentiation, and 3) Teaching Up, and how each of those ideas can extend your effectiveness in planning for and addressing the needs of the varied learners you teach.
