To thrive in their uncertain future, students must know more than how to take tests. Transforming students into confident, self-directed, lifelong learners requires differentiated instruction and project-based learning. This practical classroom resource presents dozens of strategies for differentiation among learners:

  • flexible grouping
  • choice boards
  • tiered assignments
  • and more

It also delivers a range of fully developed content-focused projects, each modelling one or more differentiation strategies. All projects are aligned with rigourous, comprehensive content standards in the areas of English/language arts, math, social studies and science.

Designed for use by any teacher, in any classroom, in any school.

Includes reproducibles: the included CD-ROM (Macintosh & Windows) features all of the reproducible student forms plus four bonus projects.

"A practical guide for teachers in mixed-ability classrooms to creatively meet curriculum benchmarks without focusing solely on standardized tests. Teachers will appreciate the combined use of research and practicality."
- Susan Hyde, M.Ed.

"The hours this book saves teachers are immeasurable."
