Differentiation in a perfect world

Another practical differentiation guide from Carol Ann Tomlinson. More than an introduction, this book contains lesson plans for a variety of elementary school subjects. For each subject, you can look at a complete instructional unit. Teachers looking for a step-by-step guide to creating differentiated lessons, look no further. I have to say, the first unit I designed this way took FOREVER. Don't get discouraged on the first lesson and don't think you have to differentiate everything right out of the box (the mistake I made the first time).

Differentiation in Practice: A Resource Guide for Differentiating Curriculum, Grades K-5

This is an excellent source for those people creating differentiated units. It has units for you to uses as models for creating your own. You could also use the units as is and take thenm straight to your differentiated classroom. I used this book as the model when I created my unit while working with Carol Ann Tomlinson in Virginia it was great!

The Wave of the Future

This book was introduced to me in a workshop. It is full of solutions to our ever changing classroom. I now have ideas to teach my SPED students with my gifted students. Differentiation is the wave of the future. After reading the book, I realize the differentiation is not leveled reading groups as we all think!
