Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A textbook on differentiation that considers the range of students that teachers have to teach, in terms of abilities, learning styles, social background, cultural diversity, special needs and so forth. The authors develop a simple, operable model to help teachers accommodate the needs of all students and to teach them effectively. They conclude with case studies of classroom applications--ideal for use on in-service training.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
