“I have little interest in a surgeon who says, "I learned that when I was in medical school. Why should I revisit it?" or who says, "I've done that operation the same way for ten years. Don't bother me with new approaches." I see teaching in the same way.” WayShouldYearsLittlesDoneSchoolInterestTeachingTenApproachMedicalBotherOperationsShould ISurgeonsMedical SchoolNew Approach Author:Carol Ann Tomlinson

“Differentiated Instruction is a teaching philosophy based on the premise that teachers should adapt instruction to student differences. Rather than marching students through the curriculum lockstep, teachers should modify their instruction to meet students' varying readiness levels, learning preferences, and interests. Therefore, the teacher proactively plans a variety of ways to 'get it' and express learning.” WayShouldPhilosophyInterestDifferencesLevelsTeacherPlansTeachingStudentsVarietyInstructionPreferencePremisesReadinessCurriculum Author:Carol Ann Tomlinson
