Classroom Elements Differentiation

Differentiation, the process of individualizing instruction in the classroom to meet all learning needs, is a difficult task to complete. You can differentiate your instruction, however in a certain "format", differentiating content, the teaching process, products, and the learning environment. Content-wise, you can vary reading levels, types of material that pertain to types of learners (auditory, visual, kinesthetic), and meeting with students (gifted, ELL, special education) to individualize learning, etc. Process-wise,  you can use tiered activities, provide interest centers, developing personal agendas, offering manipulatives, and varying instruction lengths. Product-wise, you can let students decide how they will present the information learned and how they want to work (paired or alone). Learning environments can be differentiated through developing guidelines and having different learning environments set throughout the classroom.
