  //Differentation is a philosophy that enables teacehrs to plan strategically in order to reach the needs of diverse learners in classrooms today to achieve targeted standards. Differentiation is not a set of tools but a philosophy that a teacher embraces to reach the unique needs of every learner. A differentiated classroom is one in which the teacher responds to those needs.// (Tomlinson, 1999)

Teachers can differentiate: -the content students learn -the assessment tools being used -the performance tasks selected -the instructional strategies used
