helped create student excitement for learning because I learned how to meet each child's needs on their level. I would recommend this textbook to all teachers, first through the thirtieth year!"

Strategies for Differentiating Instruction: Best Practices for the Classroom is the 'must have' instructional resource for every teacher. With clear, straightforward conversations, Roberts and Inman share essential insights about equality in learning, pretesting, and classroom management. Illustrative examples explain
how and
why instructional differentiation is critical to every student's learning success. Each strategy discussed by the authors is designed to support teachers from start to finish - beginning with student interest inventories and pre-assessments, through brainstorming and tiered instruction, and concluding with assessment resources such as the Developing and Assessing Products (DAP) tools. Do you have a poster project to assess? There is a DAP tool for that! The DAP assessment rubrics are essential evaluative tools that raise the bar for advanced learners while providing essential feedback to students. This is the
one book that I cannot live without because it supports every moment of instructional planning, teaching, and assessing student learning."
