what does differentiated instruction mean to you? from gathering information from the web, library etc what did you learn that you did not know? what experiences have you had with differentiated instruction?

Differentiated instruction means more than one way of teaching the subject. The theory is that all people don't learn the same way so within the classroom there should be different ways of presenting the information. The problem is maintaining an effective testing standard to evaluate the student's skills.

Being a high-school dropout, most everything I know was learned in very "differentiated" ways.
