Differenatiating Instruction

Differentiating instructional is an individual process of teaching and learning based on the developmental readiness, interest, and learning style of all students within a classroom.  The students readiness is based on their zone of proximity; where the student is at, what do they know and what can they do. Using the child's interests to help them to learn the curriculum, ensures the child will be more willing to put the effort into learning the subject when they can relate it something they are interested in. it is also important that the teacher to know that in order for the student to understand what is being taught a teacher has to take into account each individual learning profile how the student learns best: are they a visual, verbal, or audio learner.    The teacher can differentiate instruction by either modifying the content, modifying the process of learning or modifying product or any combination of the three.  The focus of differentiated instruction should be on the knowledge and skills that students bring forward to the learning process.
