Thank you for reading! You can read just one part or all. I thought that breaking it up would take the pressure off of people.
When I look at my results compared to the literature reviewed, I was pleased to see that I was able to get positive results with the suggestions and recommendations that I took from the literature. I found the four guiding principles for effective differentiation by Rock et al., to be the most informative and helpful: focus on the essential ideas and skills; be responsive to each student and their differences; integrate assessments within instruction; and adjust content, process, and products to meet each students’ needs. During my three weeks of research, I continuously focused on these four principles when planning and teaching.
