This review is from: Differentiated Instruction: Making It Work: A Practical Guide to Planning, Managing, and Implementing Differentiated Instruction to Meet the Needs of All Learners (Differentiation Instruction) (Paperback)

This book is great. I am a preservice teacher and accomodating for all learners is something that pertrified me. How will I do it? This book has many ideas of how to cater for everyone's learning needs without feeling by helping one student the other misses out.

Great book, highly recommend :-)
