Teaching today can be a major challenge for educators due to the diverse learning needs of students. To help you meet the need of the diverse learners in your classroom, educators can use the theory of differentiated instruction (DI). Developed by Carol Ann Tomlinson, DI allows educators to tailor their teaching methods to enhance learning for all students without creating unique lesson plans for each one. By differentiating instruction, educators can provide equitable learning opportunities, ensuring every student can fully participate and achieve better results.
