A definition of Differentiated Instruction
Carol Ann Tomlinson is an Educator that advocates for differential instruction by lecturing and writing books (QEP, 2011).
"We don't get to decide whether we have challenging students in our classes, but we can certainly decide how we respond to them" (Tomlinson, 2012).
"Excellence in Education is when we do everything that we can to make sure they become everything that they can" (Tomlinson, 2012).
