To help differentiate in a school classroom some helpful tools to consider are the cogs of differentiation. The cogs of differentiation include: the student seeks, the teacher responds, and the curriculum and instruction are the guidance. As all three of these cogs work together you as a teacher will be differentiating to the students needs.
The teacher response helps when the student seeks for guidance and in turn it helps guide instruction. I really believe that when all three of these aren't working together your classroom environment suffers. After learning about differentiation I have realized it is vital to differentiate and teach to your students' needs. This is how your students succeed; helping them the way they learn best.
Nice review of the cogs, and expression of your understanding of their importance! 5 pts.
