In order to be most effective, instruction in inclusive classrooms needs to be geared carefully to students' individual learning rates and levels of ability. Differentiated Instruction presents a concise look at developing and implementing differentiated instruction programs. It provides both general and specific strategies, examines supporting tools and technologies, and focuses on overcoming the challenges of sustaining instruction programs over time and for multiple student cohorts.
