Curriculum Differentiation

• Differentiation is the fit or match of the
  curriculum to the needs of the learner.
• Differentiated instruction promotes high-level
  and powerful curriculum for all students, but
  varies the level of teacher support, task
  complexity, pacing, and avenues to learning based
  on student readiness, interest, and learning
  profile. (Tomlinson, 2000)
