By developing differentiated instruction, I have found that students can choose activities that best meet their learning styles and interest levels while learning the required information. Students are allowed to choose between reading, listening to mini-lectures, viewing PowerPoint presentations, doing supplemental worksheets, creating posters, participating in higher-order thinking activities such as research, and discussing material with their parents. By differentiating my units, on-task behavior has improved and mastery of the material has increased.
