"Differentiated instruction is designed to provide the appropriate levels of challenge and academic rigor for each student."
What the hell does this mean? Does this mean that each kid is going to be given different homework, different tests? How does that make sense?
Hey Diamond good job on the math test 2+2=racism was the correct answer.
Hey John you were horribly wrong, you did well except on your final answer you forgot the C, ∫sin(x)dx=-cos(x) +C and you forgot the C at the end. So I now have to fail you.
I hated having to do differentiated instruction when I was in. (Just for a year thank God lol)
Imagine you have 100-110 students, half are on a 504 or IEP (think kids with eg, dyslexia, autism), another quarter are English language learners (so they can't even understand what you say), and the remaining 3rd are normal kids that just want to make it thru the day.
With differentiated instruction I'd have to somehow prep work that accommodated all these different groups. It sucked
I don't think it means quite what you took it as, when you were involved.
Differentiated instruction meant that each student had their own rate of advancement. This ain't that.
Equity is the key word, here. The "difference" is that the kids that understand the lesson are expected to work with their classmates to find a collective solution.

No, it means that concepts will be taught at the capabilities of the lowest common denominator.
Welcome to Common Core.
God damned arbitrary constant. And our calc teacher was formerly an engineer who worked on the Space Shuttle, so he wasn't the type to it slide.
Omitted "let". -10 points.
Fortunately like many engineers he was shit at writing.

Man I'm glad I'm out
Don't blame you
I read that line as supporting accelerated classes, but maybe I'm wrong. I didn't read the whole thing.
I may have not understood correctly that part.
