The techniques in this book outlines a learner's needs, creating a receptive climate for learning, assessment, as well as various innovative strategies for cirriculum success.

I couldn't afford the classroom books and I am thankful that I looked on Amazon.com and found the book. The book has a lot of great information that goes along with its counter partDifferentiated Instructional Strategies in Practice. Don't buy one book with out the other book.

This text was required for my grad course. The item is a great reference, probably why it was required. Great book.

This book is an excellent demonstrative work to the other one by Gregory. It really does outline the strategies well for differentiated learning.

Differentiated Instructional Strategies: One Size Doesn't Fit All by educators and education specialists Gayle H. Gregory and Carolyn Chapman is an informative, "user friendly" guide specially written for classroom teachers, in order to introduce them to the method of differentiated instruction that involves carefully adapting curriculum and instructional approaches to the specific and individual learning needs of each student in the diverse classroom of a plural society. Individual chapters address the importance of creating a climate conducive to learning, effective curriculum approaches, assessing one's students and much more. A practical, persuasive, and useful guide, Differentiated Instructional Strategies is highly recommended reading for classroom educators and a seminal contribution to Teacher Education supplemental reading lists and academic reference collections.

One of the most valuable aspects of this book is that it puts together theories and research inclulding modalities, multiple intelligences, learning styles, etc into easy to read, all in one place, reference charts. Many good, adaptable differentiation suggestions for all content areas, and I was pleased to discover several that were new to me.....I've been teaching 8 years.

The authors provide practical materials for applying differentiated instructional strategies in the classroom. It is highly recommended for teachers in all fields, including K-12, university, corporations, professional coaching, etc.

I needed this book for a master's class I am taking. It came and was everything I expected. It came quickly and in good condition. I was a little perterbed by the cost of this book in relation to it's size. A little book at a big price.
